About
JERIE CATILLO was born in New Brunswick, Canada, moved to U.S.A. at age 15 and became a U.S citizen at age 21. Speaking mostly French, the language barrier made her high-school years in the U.S. difficult, but—with much hard work—she eventually received her high-school GED. Over the years, she went on to college and, in 1984, received an Associate’s Degree and then, in 1991, graduated from University of Connecticut with a Bachelor’s Degree. Jerie knew she had a story that needed to be told. She started writing her memoir, WITH BROKEN WINGS, in 1974; and, after being side-lined over the years by many of life’s interruptions, she completed it—39 years later—in June of 2013. She is the mother of 2 adult children and 1 adult granddaughter. Jerie and her husband Joe have been married for 33 years and live in Uncasville, Connecticut.
