She started her career with ACR, but will be remembered by most for the 28 years that she worked for The Township of Michipicoten before retiring. Todd and Gerry spent 10 years wintering in Florida before moving to Sault Ste. Marie.

Gerry had many hobbies, but one of her favourite pastimes was Wawa’s Ladies Bonspiel where she and her friends enjoyed making costumes for the parade. She loved to golf, knit, crochet, paper tole but was most noted for her beautiful handmade quilts.

Gerry loved spending time with her family, receiving phone calls, texts and FaceTime calls from those who were not close by.
