Jerry Alyce Gilman, 84, passed away on March 11, 2023, in Pocatello, Idaho. She was born and raised in Pocatello, having attended Alameda Junior High and Pocatello High School, where she was a Senior Class Officer.

Jerry married Luman Gilman in October 1957, just 5 months after graduating high school. They had been married for 65 years when she passed away.  Just a few short weeks after her passing, Luman passed away also. 

She was a member of the Gate City Baptist Church for the majority of her life, and also had been a CASA worker.

Jerry enjoyed being with family, and visiting her children, 2 grandchildren, and 3 great grandsons. She also liked camping, playing piano and organ for her church, spending time with friends, quilting, and teaching Sunday school. She could be described by her friends as the “sweetest woman ever” and always found the best in other people.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Telmar and Helen Seibert, and a son-in-law Lynn McClain.

Jerry is survived by her son Dane (Colleen) Gilman of Medical Lake, Washington; daughter Julie McClain of Lavina, Montana; granddaughter Alessandra Fino of Medical Lake, Washington; grandson Antonio (Amber) Fino of Spokane, Washington; brothers Ronald (Connie) Seibert of Salmon, Idaho and Paul (Cindy) Seibert of Lapwai, Idaho; 3 great grandsons, and many nieces and nephews.
