Gerald Jerry Druelle, February 15, 1941 — February 26, 2019

Beloved father and grandfather passed away Tuesday, February 26, 2019 at Union Court Assisted Living in St. Charles. Age 78 years. Born February 15, 1941 to the late Fred and Matilda (Genske) Druelle, Jerry was born February 15, 1941 in Saginaw and was a lifelong resident of the Saginaw area.

He graduated from Arthur Hill High School in 1959 and proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. Jerry married Kathleen L. Donaldson on his birthday, February 15, 1969 and remained inseparable for 48 years. She predeceased him April 19, 2017.

Jerry was a longtime member of Second Presbyterian Church. He was also a dedicated worker at the General Motors Malleable Iron Plant for 41 years until his retirement. Jerry enjoyed the outdoors and spending time with his family friends.

He liked to camp, was a huge fan of the Detroit Tigers, collected baseball cards, and loved his cat, Misty. Jerry also spent many years coaching little league baseball as well as youth basketball and soccer. More than anything, Jerry was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle who will be dearly missed.
