Jerome was born in Philadelphia to Luchius Manker and Roberta Manker on April 20, 1955. He went to school at Philadelphia. He married Roben E. Manker on (anniversary date) in Philadelphia. He attended Chester A. Arthur Elementary School, John Bartram High School, and attended the Philadelphia College of Art. He was self- employed as a general contractor for over 40 years.
Jerome always took time out for community. He was the type of person who knew each neighbor by name and was willing to listen to concerns and help in any way that he could. Jerome loved to garden, which he learned from his uncle "Bucky". He was a member of the Pastorias Community Garden in Germantown.
Jerome is preceded in death by his mother, Roberta Manker and his father, Luchius E. Manker, and his brothers David L. Manker and Earnest Manker.
The family of Jerome Manker wishes to extend our sincere thanks to all of the PENN doctors, nurses, hospice organizations, family and loved ones that helped with his care.
