Geraldine "Gerri" Patrick

Geraldine "Gerri" Patrick Geraldine "Gerri" Patrick, born in Reno Nevada, but a beloved longtime Georgian, passed away surrounded by her adoring family. She was preceded in death by her loving parents, Arthur and Jerry Wilson, siblings, Bonnie Wilson, Janet L. Clark-Rebideaux, and Fred Wilson, and devoted husband, Dave Patrick. Together, she and Dave shared a life filled with art, travel, and adventure-skiing down snowy slopes, golfing and playing tennis under wide blue skies, and exploring the beauty of history and culture around the world. Gerri leaves behind her cherished children, Ted Rupley, Joe Rupley (Gina), and Elizabeth Galloway (Brian); her grandchildren, Annie Stegg Gerard (Justin), Nick Stegg, Lauren Loggins (Keith), Jonathan Galloway, Jerrett Rupley, Jayna Rupley, Jack Rupley, and Amelia Rupley; and two great-grandchildren, Nikolas and Arthur Gerard, who will carry her memory forward with love. A gifted artist, Gerri painted landscapes that captivated and entranced-moody monochromes that stirred the soul and vibrant seascapes so real you could almost taste the salty waves and feel the whip of the wind. Her art reflected not only her talent but her way of seeing the world: deeply, beautifully, and with wonder. But beyond her artistic gifts, Gerri will be remembered most for her heart. She was loving, accepting, and kind, treating everyone she met with dignity and respect. Her warm spirit fostered deep friendships, and her and Dave cherished their church family. Parkinson's may have taken much, but it could never diminish the light she brought to those who knew her. While her loss is deeply felt, there is comfort in knowing she is free from suffering and at peace. Gerri will be missed beyond measure, yet her memory-like her art-will live on in the hearts and souls of those she touched.
