As so many know she was a fabulous cook. Tried many wonderful recipes. Any food that her hands touched was magical. Most nieces and nephews had a favorite and she would make sure to make it, along with her brothers and sisters. Her famous green Jello will be missed by so very many. 

She was many young people’s first boss from the area. She would give anyone and everyone a chance. 

Aunt Ger or Aunt Gerri to so many. She had a mother’s love for all. Her favorite song to sing was “You are my sunshine.” Many children through the years heard this song from her. 

She was the greatest cheerleader for all of us. She gave great cooking tips to anyone who wanted and she gave the best advice. She had great wisdom and shared it with everyone.
