Jerry was born on January 22, 1953 in St. Cloud, Minnesota to Laura (Hansen) and Joseph Hansmeier. Jerry grew up on a family farm which instilled in him a strong work ethic and provided a great outlet throughout his life. Jerry graduated from Foley High School and continued his education at Concordia College, Moorhead, MN and then attended medical school at the University of Minnesota.

Jerry’s love for helping others was evident in his medical practice and relationships. His faith in the Lord inspired his gracious approach to the pain. He practiced medicine at Foley Medical Center from 1983 to 1999, retiring due to early onset of Parkinson’s disease.

Jerry married the love of his life, Dee, on September 4, 1982 in Fargo, ND and they were blessed with four children, Matthew (Susan) of Menomonie, WI, Jacob (Amanda) of Lakewood, CO, Edward of Denver, CO and Joy (Patrick) Murray of Sauk Rapids, Minn.; grandchildren, Henry, Harrison and Hailey Murray, Paxton Hansmeier, and the 5th arriving in July. Jerry is survived by his siblings Karen Attia, Champlin, MN, Connie (Greg) Berg, Champlain, MN, Jon Hansmeier, Foley, MN and David Hansmeier of St. Cloud MN. Preceded in death by Jerrys’ parents and his in-laws.

A special thanks to Pamela Gassett, his caregiver, and all the caregivers and medical people who care for the sick. Memorials are preferred.
