Jeri Maureen Shea Boquette passed away peacefully in the arms of her
loving husband, Larry Boquette, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Jeri grew up in Reseda, Calif., and, at the age of 18, worked as a top
model for the Nina Blanchard Agency. She later worked at Lockheed
Aircraft then moved to Parker, Ariz. in the early seventies
where she was bar manager at Fox's for several years.

She moved to Palm Desert for a few years where she worked in the
hospitality business for Marriott Hotels. She met Larry during a visit
to Parker and they married in 1996 and moved back to Parker. Jeri
worked at Rust River Glass for the last 14 years.

Jeri had friends too numerous to mention, many of those friendships
flourishing for over fifty years, which is a testament to her fierce
loyalty to those she loved. She was passionate about news and
politics, and loved boating on the river with Larry.

We will all miss her so much. Her wit and humor were there til the
end. Her courage and love for life sets an example for us all. She
faced her hurdles with the heart of a warrior.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Larry, as well as siblings
Kathy, Danny, Robert, and Beverly Shea. She was a proud auntie and
took delight in her various nieces and nephews.

Jeri, you will never be forgotten. You did it your way. There will be
a celebration for you at Fox's at 1 p.m. on Saturday, August 7. You'll
be there in spirit.
