Jerilyn Jones, 72, died October 11, 2025, at her home in Enterprise, Utah. She was born on June 17, 1953, in Cedar City, Utah, to Clair and Geneva Jones.  Jerilyn was raised in Enterprise where she graduated high school.  She attended college at SUU, in Cedar City, where she got a degree in education.  She taught school for one year in Green River, Utah. Then she moved to Pioche to live with her sister, Maurine, and taught school in Panaca, Nevada.

Jerilyn was a great fan of baseball.  She loved to travel with her brother, Randy, to ballgames.  Her favorite team was the San Francisco Giants, and anyone who could beat the Dodgers.  Jerilyn was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  She was a Relief Society teacher at this time. She filled many callings throughout her life, but her favorite was Primary Chorister.  She loved the primary songs. She was a faithful ministering sister.

Jerilyn is survived by her sister-in-law, Joan Jones; brothers and sisters: Norma Langford, Janice Madison, Rulon (Shirley) Jones, Neldon (Sondra) Jones, and Randy (Teddi) Jones. She was preceded in death by her parents, Clair and Geneva Jones; brothers: Gayland and Lyle Jones; and sister, Maurine Pikyavit. 

Jerilyn was the baby of the family.  She never married but considered all her nieces and nephews, and her students as her children.  They all knew that she loved them.  Jerilyn was a very generous person.  If she knew of someone in need, she would see that their needs were met.
