Meet Daughterhood Circle Leader Jerri McElroy. A full-time in-home family-caregiver creatively engaging communities and connecting individuals to purposeful and impactful CARE, through shared experiences and resources! Jerri has been a family-caregiver to her dad since 2017, and a caregiver (mom) to her six children since 1997. (every mom is a caregiver, btw) Within her own caregiving journey, she has often stumbled across information that was vital to the quality of care she was providing to her father. As she began to share with other caregivers, it was obvious that more guidance and support was needed. Jerri is a Care Advocate, and is a member of several caregiver support networks across the globe. She is also a 2021-2022 Care Fellow of Caring Across Generations and a licensed and ordained minister of the Christian gospel. A native of St. Louis, Missouri, Jerri has been a resident of DeKalb County, Georgia for 30+ years. She is a proud mom of six children and four grands. Her favorite color is lime green, and she enjoys line dancing, bowling, riding bikes, and double-dutch.
