Jerriann Barney

Jerriann Barney, born on October 10, 1974, was a beloved daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother who left this world leaving a lasting mark on all who knew her. Jerri lived with warmth, humor, and a deep sense of family and friendship, always embracing life with joy and openness, bringing light to those around her. Jerri was unapologetically herself, which led to ups and downs, but we loved her through it all. She was inseparable from her husband, Tim, whose devoted love for her was evident. From their earliest days together, Tim stood by her through thick and thin. They were true companions, creating a lifetime of memories that will be cherished forever. Jerri always took great care of Tim, both financially and physically, throughout his medical journey, and he reciprocated that care wholeheartedly. She loved life’s simple pleasures, especially the snuggles from her beloved dogs and the memories shared with her kids and grandkids, which kept her days lively and full of love. She and Tim spent cozy nights binge-watching TV shows and movies, often enjoying days as “room hermits.” Together, they also loved fishing and taking long drives. Jerri held a special affection for Grogu and built quite a collection of Grogu treasures. Recently, the family shared a memorable vacation together at Universal Studios and Disney World. Little did they know how precious that time would become. She was delighted to experience Star Wars Land at Disney World and to find a beloved Betty Boop jacket in Toon Land—a dream come true. The family also celebrated her 50th birthday with her favorite Mexican food, capturing photos and memories that will last a lifetime. Though Jerri sometimes found it difficult to be in public or around large groups, she always made the effort to show up for her loved ones, even if she couldn’t stay long. Her commitment to her family and friends meant that no challenge could keep her from supporting those she cared about. Jerri was there for every milestone, cheering her family on through graduations, marriage, and the births of her grandchildren. She was overjoyed to share a birthday with her granddaughter, Mia, a bond that will live on forever. She loved her grandchildren more than they will ever truly know. Jerri’s strength, dedication, and unconditional love taught those around her the power of forgiveness, openness, and loving without judgment. She was deeply compassionate and a natural leader who had a remarkable way of supporting others, especially those who needed extra encouragement. Jerri was not only a manager but a true friend to those in her life and at work. She put her whole heart into everything she did and took genuine joy in helping people grow, both personally and professionally. Her thoughtful guidance and belief in others left a lasting legacy of kindness, respect, and support. Jerri is survived by her loving husband, Tim Barney; daughters Felicia Blackburn and Brookelynn Paul; son Mason Barney; son-in-laws Ben Blackburn and Justin Paul; daughter-in-law Ashley Barney; brothers Buddy Flitton, Michael Green, Aaron Green, and John Green; mother Lorelee Warenski; father figure Gregory Green; and grandchildren Mia, Axel, Sam, Lilly, Ariel, and Amoura. She leaves a legacy of kindness, dedication, and love that will forever be felt by those she held dear. We have been grateful for all the messages and stories and encourage everyone to reach out with pictures or other memories, as this will bring a smile to our faces. A celebration of Jerri’s life will be held on November 8 at 6 p.m. at 2361 W 13400 S, Riverton, UT 84065 (at the church). In lieu of flowers, donations to assist with medical bills and the celebration of life can be made via Venmo to @Felicia-Ann-Blackburn.
