Gerry was a devoted daughter, a beloved sister, a caring nurse, a loving wife and mother, a doting grandmother, faithful friend. Her arms and her kitchen were always open, her selfless heart ever expanding with love. Ne’er a more smitten and adoring Nan did exist. Her passing leaves a chasm in the hearts and lives of all who loved her, who shared her laughter and her life. A void that can only be filled with the treasured memories of a life so lovingly lived. For all the love, the laughter, the care and the joy, we thank you, Nan. We will miss you. Arrangements entrusted through Stacey’s Funeral Home, Gander.
