Jerita Kersey

of Conway, AR

July 27, 1923 - March 3, 2017

Jerita Fleming Kersey went Home to be with the Lord on Friday, March 3, 2017. She was born July 27, 1923 in Bee Branch, Arkansas. She was the first born child to her now deceased parents, Joseph Henry Fleming and Ola Wilkes Fleming. She has three sisters (Magdlene, Reba Jo and LeDon.

On May 16, 1942, she married her life-long love, Edwin Kersey. Their blessed union produced three sons (Edwin Jr., Rick, and Joe), 9 grandchildren (Kristan, Matthew, Michael, David, Laura, John, Kyle, Katherine, and Mason), and 10 great-grandchildren (Alli & Taylor Martin, Braedon, Kieren, Camden, Trevin, Adilyn, Paxton, Matthew and Samuel Kersey). She also enjoyed close relationships with her 3 brothers-in-law, many nieces and nephews, and countless friends.

As a young woman, she accepted Christ as her savior and was baptized in Round Hole in 1936 along side of her future husband.

She graduated from South Side High School in South Side, AR. She attended Arkansas State Teachers' College.

In addition to her parents, she is also preceded in death by her husband, Ed, and grandson, Matthew Kersey.

Today we try not to be sad, as we celebrate her vibrant, beautiful life. She filled our hearts with happiness, laughter, & love. We will have those memories to treasure until we meet again in heaven.

Aunt Jerita was a wonderful lady. We loved sitting with her and hearing about when she was young and the things she did. She was a good Christian and we know she has gone home to be with our Lord. She loved her family very much. I am glad she is with Uncle Ed. Eddie, Rick and Joe...we are very sorry for your loss but Heaven has gained such a beautiful Angel. God Bless you all as you lay her in her resting place. We send our prayers. We will be with you in our thoughts and love as she is put to rest with Uncle Ed by her side.
