In Memory

Christine Ann Gerrard - Class Of 1976 VIEW PROFILE

Christine Ann Gerrard

Christine (Chris) Ann Gerrard passed peacefully at home on January 30, 2023. She will be remembered and profoundly missed by all who knew her and experienced her kind spirit, deep feeling compassion and caring, mischievousness, positive perspective, delight in small things most people don’t even notice, as well as her laughter, exquisite curiosity, and her love of life. 

Chris enjoyed sharing her passion for learning with kindred friends and family, especially when the topic was history or airplanes or nature. She loved birds and animals, especially monkeys!  And, squirrels!

She was employed at Kessinger Aerospace in Elkhart, Indiana until January 2020 when she became too ill to work.  Chris was born July 6, 1958 in South Bend, Indiana.  She graduated from Adams High School.

Chris was predeceased by her parents Robert Charles Gerrard and Patricia Jeanette Gerrard (June), her brother Robert Glenn Gerrard, and her long-time boyfriend Jim Lester. She is survived by her cousins, Patricia Lynne Yost of Bradenton, Florida and Kathy June Benham (Yost) of Richmond, Virginia: her best friend and loving caregiver, Pamala Shampel of Osceola, Indiana; many dear friends and Pam’s family who loved her as family.

A private scattering of her ashes will be done at a later date.  In lieu of flowers for those wanting and able to make a donation in her memory, Chris had suggested: Potawatomi Zoo in South Bend Indiana or Wounded Warrior Project.
