GERALD BRYAN CARLTON March 22, 1932 - June 8, 2022 Jerry Carlton died at home in Sierra Madre on June 8, 2022, after enjoying one last Dodgers win with his family. Jerry was born in Upland, California, to Gladys Irene Gray and GaryBrennan Carlton. The family moved to Arcadia when Jerry was 6 years old. After finish- ing his tour of duty with the US Navy, he moved to Sier- ra Madre with his wife Nan Carlton. Jerry attended First Avenue Elementary School and Monrovia Arcadia Duarte High School (common- ly referred to MAD high school by alumni). Jerry served in the US Navy from 1950 to 1954, receiving an honorable discharge. Jerry attended Cal Poly Po- mona for two years. He worked in manufacturingfor his entire career with long stints at Carlson Rules and Lockheed. Jerry married Nan Hatheway on February 12, 1953, and they resided in Sierra Madre for the rest of their lives. They had three kids by 1957: Steve, Sheri, and Suzi. In 1960 they all moved to the Adams Street house where Jerry lived for the next 62 years. In the early 1960s Nan’s young siblings Bert, Jesse, and Maggie moved in, and Jerry and Nan raised them through high school. Bert, Jesse, and Maggie re- mained close to and important to Steve, Sheri and Suzi; they were essentially three more siblings. Jerry and Nan volunteered for many community groups, and often volunteered together. They taught Sunday school and ran the church youth group when their kids were young. Jerry’s volunteer career start- ed with youth issues and continued into other areas. He was active in the Little League, Girls Softball, and the Sierra Madre Athletic Association. Jerry with Nan were founders and first managers of Girls Soft- ball. Jerry and Nan started the league with other par- ents because in those days the girls were not allowed to play in Little League, and Sheri and Suzi needed an outlet for their baseball skills. Baseball was a lifelong passion for Jerry, and he loved the LA Dodgers. Jerry worked with the Sierra Madre Rose Float Asso- ciation. His kids pasted many a flower on the floats. Jerry was a longtime volunteer for the Friends of the Sierra Madre Library. The family were big readers, and Jerry saw the importance of supporting his local public library. Jerry and Nan were also interested in the environ- ment around them; both were early members of the Sierra Madre Environmental Action Council, which started the Recycling Center. In addition, Jerry and Nan were actively involved with the Mt. Wilson Trail Race for many years. Jerry and Nan’s community commitment was recog- nized by the City of Sierra Madre and the Los Ange- les County Board of Supervisors in 2012 when they were honored as Older Americans of the Year. He is survived by his son Steve Carlton (wife Laurie) of Nevada City, California; his daughter Suzi Stret- ton of Sierra Madre; grandkids Amanda Burnett Sosa (husband Manny), Mike Stretton, Liz Carlton, and Wyn Carlton; great-grandson Hunter Sosa; sis- ter-in-law Maggie Clements; family members Bob Burnett and Michael Stretton; and close friends and neighbors. Jerry was preceded in death by both parents, wife Nan, daughter Sheri Burnett, brother Jack Carlton, and brothers-in-law Bert Pedigo and Jesse Pedigo. Jerry was a quiet man dedicated to his family and community. For more than half a century, service to the Sierra Madre community was Jerry’s life. A graveside service will be held in August 2022 in combination with a visit to Dodger stadium for a game. In lieu of flowers the family is requesting that dona- tions be made in Jerry’s name to the Friends of Sierra Madre Library, P.O.
