Jerret K. Schiery

Jerret K. Schiery, 76, of Rossville, passed away on Thursday, August 8, 20204 at his home. He was born February 27, 1948, in Clinton County to the late Kenneth P. and Garnett (Fenstermaker) Schiery. He married Rovena Tull on January 28, 1967, and she survives. 

Jerret was a 1967 graduate of Clinton Prairie High School. He worked as the mill foreman at Henry Poor Lumber Company for 45 years until his retirement December 30, 2021. He was a brilliant carpenter that could build anything you asked. Many family members have pieces of his artwork.

Family meant the world to Jerret. He would do anything for his family. He enjoyed spending time with them, whether it be playing on the floor with the grandkids or great grandkids, helping build bookcases, or being out in the shop helping the older kids.
