Marian Gervais Obituary

Gervais, Marian BALLSTON LAKE Marian Gervais, 85, passed away on Monday, July 1, 2019, surrounded by her family. They had been together camping as they had yearly for the past 51 years in the weeks leading up to the 4th of July. Marian was a loving "professional mom," grandmother and great-grandmother. She loved her home, her precious Hunter, sitting on the deck in the evening with a glass of wine, rocking on her swing, and listening to her birds. She enjoyed playing bridge with the International Bridge Group, gardening, and loved entertaining and cooking for all. She was a member of Corpus Christi Church for over 50 years and enjoyed serving at the church food pantry with her friends. Marian was predeceased by her loving husband Norman. She is survived by her sons, Norman (Catherine) and Michael; daughters, Lenore (Marvin), Shari (Michael) and Bonnie; grandchildren, Jeffrey (Nicole), Norman (Amber), Nick, Philip, Laura (Cody), Carolyn (Matthew), Andy and Ben; great-grandson Jack, and a great-granddaughter on the way. We would like to sing "Rock me Mama" to you; we hope you are dancing with Dad and enjoying "God's most perfect food," oysters. Relatives and friends are invited to call on Sunday, July 7, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Armer Funeral Home, Inc., 39 East High St., Ballston Spa. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 9 a.m. on Monday, July 8, in the Corpus Christi Church, 2001 Route 9, Round Lake. Burial will follow in Jonesville Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in memory of Marian to the Mayo Clinic Spinal Cord Injury Research Program. philanthropy.mayoclinic.org/donate.

Dear Norm, Lenore, Sherry, Mike and Bonnie,

Your mother has always been one of my favorite people. She was never afraid to speak her mind and I'm sure that is why she was one of my favorites. At the same time she was kind and generous. God bless you all at this time.

She had such a kind and generous heart as she served our neighbors at St. John's/St. Ann's Welcome Table! RIP Marion!

Dear Bonnie and family,
We are so sad to hear about your sweet Mom's sudden death. As you know, she was the kind of person who left an impact on anyone she met. From the time in the North Beach Campground laundry room that we met her years ago, we smiled everytime we saw her or thought of her. To say she was unique is an understatement! Heaven will never be the same now that she's sharing her heart and craziness up there! We will miss her dearly and send our sincerest sympathy to all of you!
Many hugs,
