Burford Ancestors - Generation 5 - Jerry Dean Searcy

Jerry Dean Searcy was born 26 July 1933

Jerry was the son of Edith Burford and Will Searcy

I do not have any pictures of Jerry.

Jerry Searcy married Dorothy Lee Wilson 26 Jun 1953 in Cross County, Arkansas, daughter of William Newton Wilson and Ola Dow McCarter. She was born 26 June 1938 in Arkansas.

I do not have any pictures of Dorothy.

Children of Jerry and Dorothy Searcy are:

i. William Dean Searcy, born 16 June 1954.

ii. Barbara Lee 'Shorty' Searcy, born 21 July 1955

iii. David Wilson Searcy, born 16 June 1956; died 13 June 2001; married Carolyn Tarwater



Carolyn Tarwater Searcy died (apparently) 19 May 2015. (Their wedding photo is on the gravestone in the first photo above, but not on this later picture.)

Jerry Dean Searcy died 14 August 1997

Dorothy Lee Wilson Searcy has a memorial on FindAGrave, with this shared gravestone photo. However, her side of the stone has no death date inscribed, so it is possible she is still living, and the person who created the memorial just got the information from the gravestone without considering the possibility that the spouse of Jerry Dean Searcy might still be living. That happens frequently on FindAGrave. I have not been able to locate any records verifying that Dorothy has died.
