Jerilyn A. Scott, daughter of Earl and Marcella (Scheerhorn) Scott, was born Dec. 16, 1951, in Luverne. She grew up and attended elementary school in Hardwick, Minn. She graduated from Luverne High School with the class of 1969. On June 7, 1975, she married her high school sweetheart, Dale Kille, after hitting it off at the DMV. They moved early on and spent time in Topeka, Kan., and Fort Dodge, Iowa, where sons Jesse and Jonathan were born. Later they moved to Luverne, and eventually settled in Brandon. Jerilyn worked with her parents at the family bar and grill in Luverne called Scotty’s. Her favorite job was delivering flowers for Jubilee in Brandon where she so enjoyed being able to put a smile on the faces of those receiving the flowers.

Hobbies included planting flowers and plants around her house. She loved travelling with her mom to many places, including Hawaii and Las Vegas to name a couple. She bowled league for many years at Eastway Bowl in Sioux Falls. In her earlier years, she enjoyed playing softball with her friends and teammates and later in life spent summers golfing with friends and family. Jerilyn was also an avid card player, loving Pinochle in particular. Number one in her life was her family and friends; she was always there to brighten your day and was the best at remembering birthdays and special dates.

Left to cherish her memory are her sons, Jesse (Amanda) Kille of Lead, S.D., and Jonathan of Sioux Falls; and brother-in-law, Jim (Connie) Kille of Rock Rapids, Iowa.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Dale in 2007; and brother Randy Scott.
