Jerry Ethridge Armstrong

On Wednesday, June 26, 2024, Jerry Ethridge Armstrong, loving husband to Yvonne Armstrong, went to be with our Lord and Savior, at the age of 78. Jerry was born in Bastrop, Louisiana, on October 31, 1946, to Walter (Foxy) and Helen (Bolin) Armstrong. Jerry grew up in Bonita, Louisiana and graduated from Bonita High School in 1964.

Jerry worked several jobs over the years from Olin Paper Mill and Armstrong’s Hardware before retiring from Newcomer and Son Heating and Air Conditioning. Jerry loved spending time with Yvonne traveling to Italy, Glacier Park, Austria, dancing, photography, playing Bridge with friends.

Jerry was an easy-going guy who would do anything for anyone. He was a loyal son who spent many hours with his mother as her health deteriorated. He liked to joke and tease and had an endearing smile.
