Age 87, passed away on Wednesday July 21, 2021 holding hands with her daughter Kathie. Gerri was on Hospice for a few weeks before her passing due to an earlier hospitalization the end of June. Gerri fought hard to beat what she was facing and all her family members were able to be there with her through out the last two weeks. She was an amazing Mother and truly a blessing!

She was married to Bob in 1953 and lived in St Paul, MN and eventually moved back to Little Canada with her husband and two children.
