GERALDINE SYDNEY BERRYERE
(nee HARRIS)
On June 26, 2013, with her family by
her side, Gerry passed away peacefully at the Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg
at the age of 78 years.
Remaining to cherish Gerry’s memory
forever are her children, Kathy (Chris),
Glen, Nancy (James), Craig; daughter-in-law Lynda; six grandchildren, Ashley
(Bryan), Darren, Tyler, Carla, Kailyn and Alec; two great-grandchildren, Finley
and Dax; sisters, Joy (Keith) and Kay; sisters-in-law Carol and Jean; as well as
numerous cousins; nieces; nephews; and friends. She was predeceased by her
husband, Cliff (1998); parents Thomas and Laura; and brothers, George and
Dennie.
Gerry was born on May 20, 1935, the
youngest of five children. She grew up in Winnipeg, married Clifford Berryere
on June 18, 1960 and raised four children. She was a dedicated mother,
grandmother, and great-grandmother who cherished our family gatherings!
In Gerry’s later years, she was a
very active member at the St. James-Assiniboia 55+ Centre. She thoroughly
enjoyed her time there and was often spotted playing scrabble and cards or
volunteering her time in and around the centre. Gerry enjoyed travelling and
was able to see much of Canada and the U.S.A. throughout her life. Some of her
favourite trips included a cruise to Alaska, a bus tour of the Maritimes and
Las Vegas for her 75th birthday. Although her stay at Kiwanis Courts
was brief, she absolutely loved it and was really looking forward to this new
phase of her life!
The family wishes to extend special
thanks to the staff at Birchwood Medical Clinic, the 3rd floor Grace
Hospital, Metropolitan Kiwanis Courts, numerous home care workers, and GH7
Health Sciences Centre. Your care and compassion meant a lot to us!
A Celebration of Gerry’s Life will be held on Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. in Sturgeon Creek United Church, 207 Thompson Drive, Winnipeg.
