Newspaper Notice Gerlach, Mary
(Nee Eimerman) Oct. 24,1909 – Sept. 4, 2009. Passed away peacefully in her sleep at the Milwaukee Catholic Home at the age of 99. Former longtime resident of Whitefish Bay. Proceeded in death by her dear husband O.F. Gerlach on Oct. 19, 1989. Adored mother of Ann M. (William) Wedewart and John O. (Lorraine) Gerlach. Cherished Grandmother of Stacy (John) Revitte. Special great-grandmother to Maxwell and Natalie Revitte.
Mary was a 1930 Marquette University graduate. She will be extremely missed by everyone close to her. She selflessly and perpetually took an extraordinary interest in the well-being of others. Mary was known to be a good sport about everything with an outstanding sense of humor. She was respected and admired by all, having a great mind and personality. Her doctors were impressed with her on a personal level. As a testament, she had open-heart surgery at the age of 93.
She will be so missed by those close to her that in an imaginary way it will be as if every tree in the world was suddenly removed. Not many ordinary people leave that kind of impact. She would consider them over statements – they are not.
Services will be held at the Feerick Funeral Home on Thursday, September 10, at 3:30 PM. The family will greet friends following the service. Interment will be private. Memorials in Mary’s name may be made to the Milwaukee Catholic Home Residence, 2462 N. Prospect Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53211.
