A strong Godly woman, Gerry was a faithful member of Kingsville Baptist Church who enjoyed her morning bible readings. She loved to mow the lawn and tend to her garden, as well as painting the various wood working projects that her husband, Ben built. Her biggest passion in life was spending quality time with her loving family and friends. A wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend, she will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital or the charity of ones’ choice.
