Geraldine "Jerri" Ann Slade's Obituary
Geraldine "Jerri" Ann Slade, age 76, of Bethel Park, formerly of Seattle, Washington, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on October 7, 2020.
Jerri was born on April 20, 1944. She was the daughter of the late Claire and Lester Larsen.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Bill (Julie) Slade and David (Tracy) Slade; granddaughter, Ashley Marie; siblings, Jim (Connie) Larsen, Jeanne (Steve) Hansen, Joe Larsen; as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends.
Jerri was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 42 years, Jim Slade and her in-laws, Mary Ruth and William Slade.
For many years she was an avid quilter, crafter, and sewer of all things cloth. Her beautiful gifts adorn the homes of many people she gifted them to. One of her greatest joys was spending time supporting her boys in their dirt track racing hobby. She was a loyal supporter and secretary of the Pittsburgh Circle Track Club for many years. The true light of Jerri's life was watching her granddaughter, Ashley, grow into the beautiful young woman we are all proud of.
