Gerry was a parishioner of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church since 1983 and lived as an example of her faith every day. She was a loving mother and her kind, compassionate personality along with her willingness to do anything for anybody in need was a constant source of strength for her loved ones. For fun, Gerry liked to embrace her creative talents through crafting, painting, or cross-stich projects. She also enjoyed sitting down to spend the time with a fun round of Hand and Foot, Marbles or Dominoes, or working a jigsaw puzzle. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
