Geraldine Coha Obituary

Coha, Geraldine "Gerri" Evelyn
Gerri joined our Lord in heaven on Aug 11, 2017, after a brave fight with cancer. Gerri was born in Chicago IL on Nov 9, 1936, to Evelyn (Bendl) and George Knepple and grew up in Brookfield IL with her beloved brother George. Gerri met Thomas Coha, the love of her life, during a softball game 65 years ago. Tom and Gerri's life together began on May 7, 1955 and took them on adventures all over the world. Their love blessed them with three children, Linda (Art), Thomas II (Paula) and Timothy. She was Grandma to Sarah, Michelle, Ryan and Aaron and had 4 great grandchildren. Gerri will be missed by her dear sister-in-laws Sister Thomas Eileen Coha and Mary Lou Knepple, nieces Kathy Drenth and Lori Tate, and her friends. She was a blessing to her family and will be in our hearts always. Her remains will be cremated and her final resting place will be determined later.
