Jerri Osborne

Geraldine Osborne of Virgie, KY passed away on August 13, 2024, at the age of 77 at the Pikeville Medical Center. Born in Johns Creek, KY on October 11, 1946, Jerri lived a life marked by dedication to the Church of Christ, her passion for education, and her love for painting and travel. Jerri was a proud student of Johns Creek High School, and continued her education at Pikeville College, Berea University and the University of Kentucky. She spent the majority of her life nurturing young minds as a school teacher until her retirement. Her impact on her students was profound and lasting, and she took such joy in meeting former students through the years. Known for her smile and outgoing personality, Jerri loved talking with anyone, painting, and traveling to new places. Above all, she cherished her role as GG to her granddaughter Indiana “Indy” Osborne, probably the title she wore the proudest in her life. Jerri was a member of the Shelby Valley Church of Christ and had been a Church of Christ member since her baptism at age 12. Her faith was a huge cornerstone of her life, providing strength and comfort to her and others through the years. She is survived by her sister, Elizabeth Doggett of Twin Falls, Idaho; brother, Michael Morley and sister-in-law Madonna Morley of Meta, KY; sister-in-law, Linda Morley of Johns Creek, KY; sister-in-law Melissa Morley of Dry Branch, KY; daughter, Stephanie Osborne of Virgie, KY; son, Josh Osborne and daughter-in-law, Toni Osborne of Nashville, TN; and her adored granddaughter, Indiana Osborne. Jerri was preceded in death by her husband, Stanley Osborne; her parents, Charles and Imal Morley; her two uncles, Archie Howard and William Eldridge Howard; her aunts, Sarah Ann and Maxie Howard; and her brothers, Dudley and Charles Sidney Morley.
