Gerda worked retail sales at JF Haberdashery for many years, where she enjoyed her friendships with many customers and owner Paul. She found great joy gardening, which consisted mostly of growing geraniums and many other flowers which decorated the entire house and farm buildings, which were enjoyed by many passing by. She and Don also enjoyed their many winters together at their condo in Fountain Hills, AZ, where they loved to spend time with friends and family.

Her family is thankful for the compassionate doctors and nursing staff at Pro Health Oconomowoc Hospital and Pewaukee Oncology, as well as AngelsGrace Hospice of Oconomowoc.
