Help Jerri Dawn's Loved Ones Overcome Financial Strain

Help Support the Family of Jerri Dawn Totman (Maiden Name: Staton)

I am Larry Staton, Jerri Dawn’s cousin. Her mother, Edwina, and her son, Ian need your help. It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Jerri Dawn Totman, a beloved daughter, mother, and friend who courageously battled cancer for over a year.

But as her illness progressed, the burden of managing the business and her growing medical needs became too great. The bar and grill, the family’s main source of income, was forced to close its doors. Now, her family faces significant financial challenges, including medical bills and the loss of income. We are asking for your help.

Jerri Dawn’s strength, joy, and encouraging, uplifting spirit touched the lives of everyone who knew her. Her optimistic outlook and contagious laughter brought light to our small, close-knit community of Girard, KS — a light that will be deeply missed.

Jerri Dawn poured her heart into everything she did, especially into running the family’s local bar and grill—a gathering place where neighbors became friends and laughter flowed freely among all.

In honor of Jerri Dawn’s legacy of love, kindness, and community, we invite you to contribute to this GoFundMe to support her family during this incredibly difficult time. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial pressure and allow the family space to grieve and begin healing.

If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of Jerri Dawn’s warm hugs, kind words, or contagious smile, you know the kind of love and generosity she lived out daily. Now, it’s our turn to give back.

Thank you for loving her family as she loved all of us. Please share this campaign and keep Edwina and Ian in your prayers.

With sincere gratitude,

Larry Staton, “Cuz” to Jerri Dawn
