Gerry is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, neighbors, and friends.

As a devoted mother and grandmother, Gerry will be fondly remembered as easy-going and kind, quick to laugh while enjoying the company of family and friends at her family home on Crescent Avenue in Dorchester where the door was always open, the kettle always on and all were welcome. A woman of quiet and strong faith, Gerry was known for her deep love and devotion to Saint Jude with family and friends often requesting to be included on her “prayer list” to Saint Jude. She was a blessing to all and will be dearly missed.
