G. Jerry Dailey, 91 of Wahoo, NE, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, May 26, 2015 at South Haven Living Center in Wahoo. He was born August 26, 1923 in Wahoo to Edgar and Vada (Garvin) Dailey. Jerry graduated from Wahoo High School in 1940. Following high school he entered the U.S. Army and served his country during WWII. Jerry served in the Army for over 2 ½ years and he was a POW in Germany for several months until the liberation of the country. Jerry and his brother owned and operated Dailey’s Clinic Pharmacy in Wahoo.
Jerry was a member of St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church. He loved golfing and for many years he was a member of Hilltop Country Club. He always enjoyed fishing, especially fishing trips with family to Canada and Minnesota. Jerry spent many winters in Florida with his family, where he made many friends through the years.
He is survived by daughter-in-law, Ereka Dailey; grandson, Paul Dailey; numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.
He was preceded in death by son, James “Jim” Dailey; parents, Edgar and Vada Dailey; brother, Kenneth Dailey; uncle, Tom Dailey; aunts, Ruth and Ruby Dailey; and ex-wife, Marion Dailey.
Ereka and Paul, sorry for your loss of your father-in-law and grandpa. He was a great man, very interesting to visit with. I enjoyed his company on many fall fishing trips to Minnesota and June trips to Canada. He will be truly missed. Dan Lanik
To my dear friend, Jerry, I send my most cherished blessing. We were friends for over 87 years beginning when we were kindergartners in Mrs. Barber’s little white schoolhouse and continuing through WWII and even today. Thank you, Jerry, for your unwavering friendship. Now, be with God, my friend Jerry. — Carl Clopeck
Jerry Dailey was just one of the best. Always a great person to talk to. He was always interested in the Wahoo and Saunders
County community. A true American Patriot, having served during WWII. I would believe that even his German captors came to
know a kind & gentle guy. Jerry was just that kind of person. May the Good Lord grant him peace, and may perpetual light
shine upon him in God’s Heavenly Home. Our condolences to the entire Dailey family and to everyone who knew & respected
this great & good person who touched our lives. Respectfully, Jim Fauver & Bev Miller
