He spent many years working in the dry-cleaning industry and was also the owner of a social club until his health failed.

Jerry met Ethelean “Pig” Booker and their love blossomed into a lifelong partnership. They raised four children together. Jerry enjoyed the time he shared with Pig, their children and grandchildren. Pig and two grandchildren, Shaquana Booker and Sha-key Foster Bey preceded him in death.

Jerry loved his family and you could always catch him on the phone chatting with one of his siblings or everyone passing the phone around to say “Hey Uncle Jerry” when gathered for holidays or Sunday dinner. Jerry always had a smile on his face and a joke on his lips. As his health failed his sisters tried to talk him into returning “home” to South Carolina and he would jokingly say “I’m not coming back to those sticks.” He had four siblings whom preceded him in death: Evelyn Lee, Lillie Glover, Samuel Glover and Sandra Glover.

Those left to cherish his memories are his children: Wayne (Donnett) Booker, Gerald (Bertha) Booker, Toni Booker and Monique Booker; Siblings: Juanita Reddic, Loretta Glover, Wilbur Glover and Donnell Glover; Brother-in-law: John Lee; Aunts: Emily G. Haynes and Lona Bell Myers; Seven grandchildren, three great grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
