Jerryline Tapoof

     Jerryline Nanette Tapoof, age 47, of Towaoc, Colorado, passed away April 30, 2024, at a hospital in Denver.
    She was born June 22, 1976, in Roosevelt, to Jerry Tapoof.  She found her companion Shannon Root and took her daughter, Shaliyah, as her own.
    Jerryline enjoyed fishing, being in the mountains, cruising around, and her favorite thing to do was cook – she made the best guacamole.  She loved to talk politics, was a jokester, and had a great sense of humor.  She was very traditional and liked to sing at Sundances, Sweats, and at Native American Church services. She was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and often read the Bible.    
    Jerryline is survived by her wife of ten years, Shannon Tapoof, of Towaoc; daughter, Shaliyah Johnson, Durango; parents, Jerry (Jackie) Tapoof, Whiterocks; mother-in-law, Toni Summa, Towoac; siblings, Wallace Tapoof, Vernal; Jonathan “Sah” Anderson, Texas; Krista Tapoof, Jewels Ribera, Carlos Lopez; and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins; and her furbabies, “Milo” & “Simba.”
    She was preceded in death by her sister, Autumn Tapoof; niece, Lena Martinez; grandparents Mary & William Wyasket; and her aunt, Shelly Tapoof.
    Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, May 8, 2024  at 10:00 a.m. at the Whiterocks Community Building.  There will be a wake on Tuesday after 3:00 p.m. at her father Jerry Tapoof’s home in Whiterocks.
    Burial will be in the Roosevelt Memorial Park.
