Gerry settled into her role as homemaker and in 1956 she gave birth to their only child, Ed. During the 70’s she worked for the Internal Revenue Service until she retired and moved with Mitchell to Rosebud around 1985.  She made many friends in Rosebud and was an enthusiastic volunteer and active in several organizations. She moved to Winnie L Nursing Facility in 2006.

Gerry’s family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff at Winnie L. for their kindness and providing her with quality care over the last 10 years.  Thanks also to her many friends there, whom she loved. The family is also grateful to the staff at Kindred Hospice for helping them through Gerry’s final days.
