Jerome Eli
Jerome Eli, age 83, of Glenfield, ND, passed away on Friday, May 9, 2025, at Regions Hospital Burn Center in Saint Paul, MN, surrounded by his loving family.
Jerome Dennis Eli was born on April 20, 1942, in Foster County to Hassen Jr. and Ida (Hadey) Eli. He grew up in rural Glenfield, where he developed a love for farming, ranching, and the rural way of life. On April 28, 1962, Jerome married Sandra Larson at Juanita Methodist Church in Juanita, ND. They shared 63 years of marriage, and together they were blessed with three sons, Daren, Adam, and Robert; and three daughters, Tamie, Holly, and Angie. Jerome was a proud and loving dad, grandpa, and great-grandpa. He deeply loved his children, 19 grandchildren, and 18 great-grandchildren, and spent many cherished moments with his family and friends.
He was a member of the Glenfield Lutheran Church, where he was confirmed as a child. Friends and family will always remember Jerome for his big smile, witty jokes, hugs, and sense of humor. He had a unique ability to be fun-loving and was always willing to share a laugh. He was known for his kind, big heart, and commitment to his community and family.
Jerome is survived by his loving wife, Sandra; daughters, Tamie (Kerry) Thurn, Holly Dockter, and Angie (Kevin) Schafer; sons, Daren (Valerie) Eli, and Adam Eli; brothers, Roger Eli, Kenny Eli, Philip Eli, and David Eli; sisters, Frani Priebe, Diane Dahl, and Susan Kurtz; many dear friends and family members; and Sadie his dog.
Jerome was preceded in death by his son, Robert; great-grandson, Reed Nelson; parents, Hassen and Ida; brothers, Arnold, Rodney, and Larry; sister-in-law, Pat Eli; brother-in-law, Kirby Dahl; and nephew, Derrick Eli.
Jerome’s legacy of love and laughter will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Our family would like to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all of you who have been so kind and thoughtful at this most difficult time. Your love and friendship now and throughout the years have meant so much to all of us.
May God Bless the Memory of Jerome.

Sending our sympathy to the Eli family. Jerome was a great guy and great friend. I enjoyed being around him.
Romey and I had a lot of fun growing up together in the 40s and 50s. Thought about him a lot through the next 70 odd years. Sure hope to be in Carrington in July to say goodby. Best wishes to his family. Cousin Butch..
Although I didn’t personally know Jerome well, his 1st cousin, my father Jim Eli, gave me the middle name Jerome in honor of him. Obviously to me and to those that knew him well, he was a great man and will be surely missed.
So very sorry. May he rest in peace and no burns or no pain! Great guy! Always made you smile!!
Daren, Val and entire Eli family – sending you strength today and peace in the days ahead. 🙏
