Geri loved her family deeply and was also known as "Gummi" by grandkids and friends alike. She was a unique character with a spunky personality, warm heart and lively spirit. She was caring to all and thoughtful in all she did. One of her greatest joys was the time spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The family wishes to thank the amazing caregivers and staff at Masonic Village for their patience and tenderness in caring for our mother. We will always be grateful for the peace you gave us. As per her wishes, a private graveside ceremony will be held at Rosedale Cemetery. We invite you to please celebrate Gerri's memory in your own ways. We know that she will always be with us in spirit. Arrangements by McDonald-Linn Funeral Home.
