Gerry was a wonderful daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and friend. She dedicated many years of her life as the bookkeeper for the first Congregational Church in Andover, where her record keeping was impeccable. Her mission in life was giving, and she so selflessly gave and opened her heart and home to all. She was a talented cook and a phenomenal baker; you never left her house hungry. She loved music, her organ, and dancing. She and her sisters were the life and entertainment of every wedding and party. Gerry had a sense of humor that was sure to make you smile, and inner strength and faith that was sure to inspire you.
