ANNIVERSARY

Jerry and Colleen Flowers

40th Anniversary

Jerry and Colleen (Kearney) Flowers, of Rathdrum, were married on Oct. 29, 1977, in Spokane Valley, Wash. They celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary with a trip to visit Jerry’s Army friend, Roy and his wife, Sheryl in Broken Arrow and Tulsa, Okla., and then traveled to Branson, Mo., for music and fun.

Jerry is the owner of Flowers Construction and has worked as a general contractor for more than 40 years throughout North Idaho and the Spokane area. Colleen has worked as a registered nurse in Spokane and North Idaho for around 40 years.

They have one daughter, Hillary Main and husband Kasey of Post Falls. Their two loving grandchildren are Jordan and Mason.

“We have shared each other’s gladness and wept each other’s tears.”

Eat the cake, take the trip. Life is short.
