- MARY J. JERMAN DIES AT 108
Richmond Times-Dispatch (VA) - Thursday, May 24, 2001
A sunny disposition and a talent for firing off one-liners like a teen-ager: Mary Johnson Jerman followed a simple life's code that kept her kicking throughout all of her 108 years.
"It's great to be the birthday girl," Mrs. Jerman told The Times-Dispatch in 1998 during her 106th birthday party at Westminster-Canterbury where she had lived since 1986. But then "everything makes me happy," she said.
Mrs. Jerman died Tuesday. Born in 1892 in Crescent, W.Va., she lived nearly all her life in Richmond.
Her father served as an engineer under Gen. Robert E. Lee during the Civil War. Mrs. Jerman's daughter, Mary Leavell Tompkins of Richmond, said the Confederate general had a pew at St. Paul's Episcopal Church across from her family's pew. Lee died in 1870.
As a young girl, Mrs. Jerman boarded in the same Richmond home as Miss Jennie Ellett, whose girls' school became St. Catherine's School. "Naturally, she attended the school," Tompkins said, speculating that her mother was among the first and, certainly, the oldest alumna.
But history was hardly her subject. Rather than dwelling on the past, Mrs. Jerman preferred ribbing visitors and staff at Westminster-Canterbury.
At her 103rd birthday, Mrs. Jerman was asked by her daughter how she felt. Tompkins recalled her mother's deadpan answer: "It's better than three-hundred-and-one."
Another relative asked only recently if she knew when her birthday was. She answered correctly and without pause. The relative then asked a second question: "Do you know when you were born?"
"No!" she shot back. "I was too little."
Mrs. Jerman's remarkable age was always of only passing consequence to her, her daughter said. "She was just good company," Tompkins said. "She was content."
Mrs. Jerman would have turned 109 in July.
In addition to Tompkins, Mrs. Jerman's survivors include two other daughters, Frances J. Brown of Maryland, and Julia J. Neal of Richmond.
A memorial service will be held at St. Paul's Episcopal Church on Saturday at noon.
- Richmond Times-Dispatch (VA) - Friday, May 25, 2001
Mary Johnson Jerman died May 22, 2001, at Westminster-Canterbury, her residence for the last 15 years. She was born in 1892 at Crescent, W.Va., the daughter of Mary Leavell and Captain William Ransom Johnson of Chesterfield, Va. Captain Johnson was an engineer on General Lee's staff. Mrs. Jerman was seven when her mother died and she moved to Richmond to live with friends, then with her father at the Jefferson Hotel. In 1918 she married William Borden Jerman of Raleigh, N.C. At the time of his death in 1941, he was vice president of the former Virginia Trust Company. Mrs. Jerman was graduated from Miss Jennie Ellett's School, now St. Catherine's School, and she attended Sweet Briar College. She was a charter member of the Junior League of Richmond, a member of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Tuckahoe Garden Club, The Woman's Club and St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Mrs. Jerman had three older brothers, William, Pegram and Francis Johnson. She is survived by three daughters, Mary Leavell Tompkins, Frances J. Brown and Julia J. Neal; grandchildren, Christopher R. Tompkins Jr., Mary T. Miller, Edith C. Gillis, Julia N. Rose, Marie Neal, Frances N. Smyth, David Neal; eight great-grandchildren. Mrs. Jerman was predeceased by her grandson, John R. Chapman Jr. A memorial service will be held 12 noon Saturday, May 26, at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to St. Catherine's School Foundation, St. Paul's Church or Westminster-Canterbury Fellowship Fund.
