Summary: Memorial Services for Jerry Sergent, 63, and his wife, Noreen Sergent, 62, of Williston, ND, were held November 5, 2021, at the Fulkerson Stevenson Funeral Home in Williston. Jerry Dean Sergent passed away in his home on October 15, 2021, due to complications from Covid. Jerry was born on April 6, 1958, to Albert and Ruby Owens in Glasgow, MT. Jerry loved the outdoors and was an avid fisherman. He could often be found out on the ice. He also hand crafted mini-tipups and had several other creative and artistic hobbies. His life was an example of stewardship, whether in his career path or at home caring for his wife, loving on his many grandchildren, or helping out with local charities and his favorite fishing groups. He could always be found assisting someone in need. Jerry and Noreen were married in January 1979 and later welcomed two children, Ryan and Jenny. They spent time living in various cities in Montana, eventually settling in Williston, ND. Over the years they worked many odd jobs often bringing the children along where they could create adventures. Together, Jerry and Noreen built a life of love, compassion, faith and helping others. They were known by many as “mom and dad.” While Jerry always welcomed the opportunity to take others on fishing trips and carry out in depth conversations, Noreen was quick to share the Word of God and pray with and for others. Their life together was a testament to loving faithfulness. Jerry and Noreen are survived by their two children, Ryan Sergent and Jenny (James) McQuiston; 13 grandchildren; several brothers and sisters; nieces and nephews; Noreen’s mother, Betty Munson; the many people who called them “Mom and Dad,” whom they cherished deeply. Preceding Jerry and Noreen in death were Jerry’s mother, Ruby Owens; father, Albert Sergent; stepmother, Lorene Crider; stepfather, Billy Owens; sister, Carol Dixon; nephews, Albert Dixon and Rocky Sergent; Noreen’s father, Clifford Munson; sister-in-law, Rita (Daryl) Munson; unborn great-grandson, Alix McQuiston.
