Jerline "Dean" Burton Beasley, age 85 of South Fulton, TN, passed away on Sunday, February 10, 2019. 

 

She was born in Graves County, KY in her parents' home.  She used her skills in math and accounting to own and run a grocery store in Tri City, KY with her late husband, George, for many years before moving to Montgomery/Oswego, IL.  Jerline loved to travel, spend time with family, garden, watch basketball, collect antiques, basketweave, socialize, and play cards.  She knew where to get the best strawberries and always had chocolate cake and malts for her grandchildren.  She was an active member of Smith Street Church of Christ and often spoke of the wonderful mission work the church was doing.

 

She is survived by her sons Dennis (Lorraine) Beasley of Oswego, IL and Rodney (Sandy) of Chandler, AZ; grandchildren Jennifer (James), Michelle, Claire (fiance Tim), Maxwell, and Alyssa; sister Eva "Fay" West; sister-in-law Bettie Jo Burton; nephew Mike West; many other nieces, nephews, and cousins; close friends Carol, Billy Joe, and Brenda; and many church friends.
