Jerry Griffin

Jerry Gail Griffin, born October 17, 1949 to Clara and Vaudry Griffin, passed away September 23, 2020 while battling Covid-19. Born and raised in Tupelo, MS and a graduate of Mississippi State, Jerry is survived by wife Mary Ann and sons Stephen and Kevin along with 3 grandchildren. A fan of drinking coffee from a saucer, cutting his grass barefoot, trading stories with his brothers over a second helping, listening to baseball on the radio, and sneaking treats to his grandchildren, Jerry will be deeply missed. Jerry was known amongst friends and family for his generosity and unexpected compassion. We are all thankful for sharing his time in this crazy world. Private visitation will be for family only. W. E. Pegues Funeral Directors is entrusted with arrangements. Expressions of sympathy may be left at www.peguesfuneralhome.com .
