Ivy P. Gerry
February 5, 1913 – October 26, 2013
Ivy was born February 5, 1913, to George and Mary Hoffman in Bliss, Oklahoma. She was fourth of six children. At the age of five the family moved to Fruita, Colorado where she lived on a farm.
She met Woodrow going to school in Fruita, and they married in 1932. While they were building a house in Loma they lived in an underground dirt cellar. They took in their nephew, Harold Gerry, and raised him after his parents died. He gave his life to God before his death. In 1944, they moved to Collbran where they ran a dairy. She grew a huge garden and canned everything to feed the family all winter. Every year she raised 200 chickens and would butcher and sell them. She did all kinds of crafts up until her 100th birthday.
Ivy is survived by her sons, Gene (Martha) Gerry of Cedaredge, CO, and Lloyd (Carmen) Gerry of Eminence, MO; daughters, Wanda Hooker of Palisade, CO, and Mary Lee (Alex) Wilkinson of Fruita, CO; ten grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren, and 16
great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; siblings; two grandsons; a great-grandson; two sons-in-law, and a daughter in-law.
A funeral will be held at 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, October 30,
2013, at the Assembly of God Church in Collbran, CO, with burial to follow at Egalite Cemetery.
