1933 – 2022 Jerry Brumley, age 88, a resident of Bosque Farms, NM, left his earthly home on January 17, 2022. He was preceded in death by his brother, Baron Brumley. A husband, father, and grandfather, Jerry leaves behind his wife of nearly 63 years, Joyce; daughter, Katherine Darlington; granddaughter, Emily Berch (Matthew); grandson, Joshua Sikes (Odessa); and many nieces and nephews. He grew up on a farm in Colorado and loved fly-fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, and being immersed in the wilderness. Various early jobs Jerry had included being a bus driver and working for the Forest Service. After serving in the Army, he graduated from Western State College with degrees in physics and mathematics. Jerry met his wife, Joyce, at a football game in Durango, and shortly after marrying they moved to Alamogordo, NM, where he worked at Holloman Airforce Base and later at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque. A quiet man, he will be remembered as having incredible strength, patience, and sharing his love for the outdoors. Jerry found solace in classical music and reading, especially poetry by Robert Burns and William Blake. A trumpet player once upon a time, Jerry helped pass down his musical interests to his daughter and grandchildren. He is buried at the Santa Fe National Cemetery. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. A special thanks goes out to Romero Funeral Home in Belen, we appreciate you so much.
