Jeri Sommers Muller (1936 - October 30, 2021)

This photo of Jeri Sommers Muller was taken of her at about the age she would have been when she attended Camp Gilead. Jeri was born in Sacramento in 1936 but had a difficult childhood and was sent to live in St. Patrick's Home for Children, foster homes and then with her father and his girlfriend in WA. The only place he would let her go besides school was a neighborhood church through which she came to attend Camp Gilead. She received Jesus Christ as her Savior and Lord at Camp Gilead and her life forever changed. A kind family from church (who were big supporters of Camp Gilead), Weldon and Polly Gwinn and their young children, allowed her to live with them during her high school years. The Gwinns even sent her to Multnomah School of the Bible where she memorized much Scripture which she could quote until the day of her death from COVID complications, October 30, 2021. God blessed Jeri with a wonderful husband, Lou, three children and four grandchildren. Lou and Jeri's home served as the receiving home for Placer County (CA) for many years with over 900 children coming through their home. The Mullers also ran group homes for babies and delinquent teenage boys. Jeri's family praises God for Camp Gilead.
