Jerry Benning obituary Ilwaco, Washington Dec. 16, 1944 — Dec. 8, 2015 Jerry Wayne Benning was born on Dec. 16, 1944, to George and Beatrice Benning in Sturgis, South Dakota. After finishing high school and college, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Upon his return to South Dakota he married Candy Plumb on Jan. 8, 1966. He moved with his family to the Long Beach Peninsula in 1967. He was employed at Sid’s Market as a butcher until he joined the Long Beach Police Department. He started working with the Pacific County Sheriff’s Department soon after. Jerry was the resident deputy in Naselle in the early 1970s, and brought his family to Raymond in 1974. He was employed with the Pacific County Sheriff’s Department for most of his law enforcement years. He served the last 12 years of his 31-year tenure as the Pacific County Sheriff. Jerry was preceded in death by his parents; a foster son, Clayton Moravec; and his first wife of 45 years, Candy. He is survived by his brother, James (Beth) Benning of Spearfish, South Dakota. Jerry married Helen R. Shepperson in Piedmont, South Dakota, on June 30, 2012. She survives at the family home in Ilwaco. Jerry and Helen went to high school together in Sturgis, and rekindled a loving relationship after 52 years apart, reuniting a large family in which they had started years before with the birth of their daughter, Debbie, in 1960. Jerry was a very proud man. His pride was very apparent when he spoke of his children. Along with daughter Debbie (Bob) of Black Hawk, South Dakota, and Kim Gehrke, Rapid City, he is survived by daughters Jeanne of Portland, Sandy (Mike) of Menlo and Sherry (Mark) of Vancouver. His grandchildren were a constant source of joy to him. Jordan was a very large part of his life, and lived with him and Grandma Candy for all of her school years. He loved them all equally and was always bragging about them all. He will forever be loved and remembered by each and every one of the grandchildren. Jerry has 15 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter. Jerry’s heart was full! He was a very special “fill in father” to so many young people who spent many hours under his loving care. He loved you all. Jerry was a huge part of the community and enjoyed being active in many local clubs and groups. He was very active in Masonic lodges, including Occident Lodge No. 99 F&AM of Ilwaco, and the Pacific County Democrats. He enjoyed participating in events with the Beach Barons and the Lower Columbia Classics Car Club. Fishing and hunting were two sports he did to relax, but time spent playing cards, dancing and laughing with family and friends filled his heart! A celebration of life will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 19, 2015, at the Ocean Beach Presbyterian Church, 5000 N Place, Seaview, Washington, with a reception following. Interment will be at The Black Hills National Cemetery in Sturgis, South Dakota. His guest book is available at www.penttilaschapel.com The Daily Astorian Bio Courtesy of Louis Stark
