Jerri I. Lavoie, age 69 , a resident of Stamford passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on February 22, 2023. She was born in Stamford on June 25, 1953 to the late Basil and Jeannene Duren Davis. Jerri was an exceptional loving wife to Donald J. Lavoie Jr of 46 years.

Jerri is survived by her loving children, Tina Pajeski and her husband William of East Haven and Donald J. Lavoie III and his wife Carla of Norwalk, as well as her grandchildren, Krislynn, Marissa, William, Autumn, Chance and three greatgrandchildren, Kai, Avery and Spencer.

Jerri started her career as a waitress at 17 years old working for Friendly’s Ice Cream. She finalized her career after 27 years as a manager. Upon retiring from Friendly’s, she found her calling as a nanny. Over 25 years she worked for four loving families and had a unique relationship with all of them.

Jerri was an avid crocheter, as she called them “Hug Blankets.” Her blankets are all over the world and anyone who has received a blanket knows it’s a hug from Jerri.

Our mother was a phenomenal wife, mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother. She enjoyed traveling to Vermont and especially loved going to Upstate New York to visit her “Seester” Judi. Our mother was loved by so many and will be missed dearly.
