The Legal Husband of Shari Jordan

Just like I stated above, Shari Jordan’s husband’s name is Lionel Herbert, also known as Dahmer, because of the monstrous act of his first son, also known as the “Father of a serial killer.” Lionel Herbert was born on the 29th of July, 1936. Also, Lionel Herbert’s father’s name is Herbert Walter Dahmer, and his mother’s name is Catherine Jemima Hughes. Lionel Hebert studied chemistry at the University of Marquette University. After his university degree, Lionel went into a full-time research chemist, then grew his career from there.

Surprisingly enough, Lionel Herbert is still alive, although with a sad memory of his son Jeffery. Lionel is currently 86 years. He presently features in television interviews, where he sometimes tells the world and young people not to go the way of a serial killer, “Jeffery.”

Is Shari Jordan still alive?

No! She is no longer alive. She died in 2012, 20 years after the death of Jeffery. It is so sad that she lived a life of tension due to her stepson, “Jeffery,” a serial killer. However, Shari was able to spend the last years of her excellent life with her grandchildren.

Lionel Dahmer’s first marriage with Joyce Dahmer

After starting his career as a chemist, Lionel Dahmer married Joyce Dahmer. The family name of Joyce is Flint. Joyce Dahmer was a teletype machine instructor by profession. It is said that the ancestors of Joyce Dahmer came from Norwegian and Irish ancestry.

Lionel and Joyce Dahmer lived a happy life after their marriage. And on the 21st of May, 1960, Joyce Dahmer gave birth to her first son/child “Jeffery Dahmer” in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.

After the birth of Jeffery, Joyce and Lionel gave birth to a female child, making it their second issue. And on the 18th of December 1966, They gave birth to their second son “David Dahmer” in Doylestown, Ohio, USA.

Divorce

Years after, Joyce started experiencing some depression, which led to so many quarrels between Lionel and their first son Jeffrey. And this consistent influence harmed the personality of Jeffrey as he was too young to bear it all. Jeffery was only 18, and his younger brother David was 12 when Lionel and Joyce decided to part ways (divorce). This happened on the 24th of July 1978. After the official divorce, Joyce took custody of David, and Lionel took custody of Jeffrey. Years later, Joyce went into a new marriage and died in the year 2000.

 Lionel Dahmer and Shari Jordan Got Married

It was a breakneck pace, as Lionel Dahmer married Shari Jordan precisely the same year he and Joyce divorced in 1978. After their marriage, she changed her name from Shari Jordan to Shari Dahmer.

Since it was legal, the court gave the custody of Jeffrey to his father, Lionel, and Shari Jordan became the stepmother to Jeffrey. And Jeffrey, a stepson to Shari Jordan. And so Lionel, Jeffrey, and Shari lived together as one family until the passing away of Shari. However, it is so sad that Shari Jordan didn’t bear any child for Lionel.

Conclusion
