It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we announce that Gerry passed away peacefully November 5th surrounded by her loving family.

Gerry was born in Calgary on July 14″ 1939. The end of the great depression and the beginning of this second World war. Gerry was the last the Jacob and Zilma Zoe clan that consisted of two bothers, Percy and Bob, four sisters, Gerry was born five blocks from her future husband Denis who was 9 months older than her.

She will always be fondly remembered and mourned by her two children Darren (Pauline), Dawn (Jason). grandchildren Vanesa, Kayla, Faith, Sara, and Sydnie. Many Nephews and Nieces in both B.C. and Alberta. A number of Great Grand children and so many wonderful friends from both Alberta and B.C. that have expressed their love and admiration for her, some of these friends go back as far as 70 years.

Gerry attended Balmoral Jr. High school, Crescent Heights Sn. High and Henderson Business school where she received her diploma in typing and short hand. Her first job was as a secretary for the purchasing department of the C PR in Calgary. When the children came along, they became her pride and joy and her fulltime job. Once they were grown, she joined the M B A program at the University of Calgary as a Secretary, later to become a much beloved Student Councillor.  She retired from the University in 2006 and moved with her husband to Vernon.

Gerry was a very active Community member wear she volunteered at both Shubert Centre and the Hospice house. She also became very involved with the Vernon Probus Club as a founding member and worked on the managing team that formed that Club. Gerry was always a very positive up beat person with a wicked sense of hummer that automatically drew people to her.

A celebration of her life will be held next spring.
