Jerrold Douglas Scribner Sr., lovingly known as Jerry, passed away peacefully in Edmond, Oklahoma, on December 21, 2023, at the age of 83. Born on May 27, 1940, in Dodge City, Kansas, to his late parents William D. and Ruby Irene Courtney Scribner.

After graduating from high school in El Dorado, Kansas, Jerry continued his education at Butler Community College before attending Phillips Theological in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he earned his Master of Theology. He married the love of his life, Bette Gae Johnson, on July 5, 1959. Together, they shared a lifetime of memories and raised a family grounded in love and faith.

Jerry is survived by his devoted wife, Bette Gae (Johnson) Scribner, his daughter Gayle Campbell and son-in-law Frank of Indianapolis, Indiana, and his daughter-in-law Ann Scribner. His legacy of joy and laughter is also carried on by his 10 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and his beloved pet Coco. Jerry was preceded in death by his son Jerrold Scribner Jr., his brother John Scribner, and his pet Smokey.

Known for his passion for motorcycles and profound introspection, Jerry often shared the contemplation, "I'm sorry I didn't become a minister earlier in my life," reflecting his deep commitment to his calling. Jerry's life journey was marked by his vibrant spirit, unwavering faith, and the countless lives he touched through his ministry and kindheartedness. He will be profoundly missed but forever remembered as a beacon of hope and love for his family and community.

Memorials in memory of Jerry may be made to the Hopewell Presbyterian Church and can be sent in care of Prairie Rose Funeral Home, 602 E. Main St., Anthony, KS 67003.
