Over the course of her involvement at both Cedar Valley and at North Central, she has taught workshops focusing on marriage and family. Jerilyn and her husband Larry live with their sons, Christopher and Alan, and she loves any activity she can enjoy with her family. When she's not curled up with a good non-fiction book, Jerilyn is probably spending her free-time entertaining friends.
