Gerry led a full and rewarding career as a medical technologist and supervisor of the hematology lab at Albany Medical Center Hospital in Albany, where she worked for over 40 years until her retirement.

In her spare time Gerry loved to play and watch tennis (long-time member of the USTA), read, do Tai Chi, cross stitch, cycle (trained 6 months at age 62 for the “Century Ride” around Lake Tahoe for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society), quilt, make boxwood Christmas trees with friends, garden, travel, national park hop, spend summers in Cape Cod with family, play piano, and visit with her children and grandchildren.
