KENNETH GEORGE JERRED

Kenneth George Jerred was born in Moose Jaw on December 22, 1913 and passed away June 1, 2010 at age 96.  Ken married Doris Fraser on October 7, 1937.  He served in the Army during WWII and is a veteran and  a member of the Royal Canadian Legion.  In his earlier years he worked for the Moose Jaw School Unit, then went out on his own as a finishing carpenter.  Ken built many items that are treasured by his family and friends.  He loved a challenge and could always figure out a way to satisfy the customer.  Ken had a very special love of listening to various artist’s piano music, which he had playing daily.  For many years Ken and Doris travelled to Las Vegas each fall for a vacation.  He also had two special poodles he was very fond of.  Ken was predeceased by his wife Doris, one sister and seven brothers. He is survived by his sister Maurine Ford of Abbotsford, BC.  Ken helped celebrate Maurine’s 100th birthday on October 18, 2009.  He will be missed by his son Clifford Lynn Jerred (Marlene) and their daughters Cynthia, Juliet, Laurel, and Cheryl Ann Jerred; daughter Judy, who was a special joy to Ken and Doris , and her son Darren; and ten great-grandchildren.  Special thanks to Cheryl’s friend Ruth Garda for her assistance during this time of need.  A private family graveside service for Ken will be held at Rosedale Cemetery.  Memorials to the Moose Jaw Humane Society, Box 1658, Moose Jaw, S6H 7K7, would be appreciated. In living memory of Ken, a tree will be planted in Besant Park by W.J.Jones & Son Funeral Home.

You will have many happy memories to help you through this sad time. The one thing that I remember from when I was little were the wonderful grandfather clocks he made. I will e-mail you Cheryl (Marsha sent me your address) Thinking of you Lorraine and Donald Shirtliff

Fred Jerred - Wapella, SK: We are deeply sorry to hear about the death of Uncle Ken. I too remember the clocks that he crafted.  But I think what I will remember the most is his warm and gentle nature.  I think that was a trait that Ken along with the rest the Jerred's were instilled with by their parents.  They must have drove Grandma Jerred crazy when they got together but they loved life. Their kindness and compassion touched so many people.  Time has a way of healing the heart.  In time nothing but good memories will remain.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jerred family in their time of sorrow.  Fred & Marie Jerred
