Geradette Boozer Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Gerry was born in Martin, South Dakota to Lawrence W. Livermont and Evalyn Livermont. At the age of two, her family moved to California, settling in Salinas. Gerry graduated from North Salinas High in 1972 and pursued arts at Hartnell Junior College. She continued living a very zestful life: waterskiing, surfing, casting jewelry, commercial fishing, bartending, oncology nursing, bookkeeping, supporting many far-flung friends with philanthropic efforts and love, being an amazing hostess and cook, visiting and storytelling, but first and foremost being a loving mother to her only child, Shawn Dakota Martinez. She, Shawn and her husband Frank Martinez, enjoyed experiencing life in Madisonville, TX (loved those Texas Bluebells) and in Knoxville, TN (loved those antique flea markets). Gerry and Shawn returned to Salinas to be with family and to allow Shawn to attend Hartnell. Gerry then reunited with Eli Boozer, Jr. They celebrated their longstanding love, marrying in 2014.
Gerry was preceded in death by her parents, Bud and Ev Livermont, her spouses, Frank Martinez and Eli Boozer, Jr., and brother-in-law Louis Goldman. She is survived by her son, Shawn, her sisters and brothers, Jimmie, Charlene, Maxine, Eddy, and Larry. Many nephews and great-nieces and nephews also survive her.
The family extends their heartfelt gratefulness to her many supportive friends, including Rick, Rigo, Kevin, Donald, Daniel, Sylvie, Stevie, Brenda, Holly, Paul, Henry, Mary and her family, and many many more wonderful friends.
Please join us for Gerry's memorial Service at Healey Mortuary, 11 am Saturday, July 13, 2024. And the Celebration of Her Life to follow directly after the memorial at her Prunedale garden home.

I could not be more saddened by the loss of a lifetime friend. We both moved to the same street in the mid 1960´s and became best friends quickly. One memory was that she often came to my house with her wet hair wrapped in a towel and her dear Mother started putting "Livermont" on all the towels as they kept disappearing. Years later I moved to my sisters for a new job and I had to laugh when I opened her cabinet to find a stack of "Livermont" towels neatly stacked there.
We had many adventures together when teenagers, enjoying similar interests. We stayed close throughout the years even when she was living in other states. I was thrilled when she moved back home. I enjoyed taking Gerry and Shaun Dakota to some of the wonderful places we used to go when we were young and just enjoying each other´s company again.
When my middle Son passed away in 2021, Gerry generously helped care of his widow and his four daughters financially as she and Ely helped many in need. I pray that wonderful memories fill the hearts of all who loved her. She will be greatly missed.
