      Gerry, age 92, passed away peacefully with her loving family by her side on Thursday, October 6, 2016 at Brookdale Assisted Living, in Appleton, Wisconsin. She was born on September 23, 1924 in Ashland, Wisconsin to George and Amelia DeHate. Gerry met and married John Gleason on June 14, 1947. He preceded her in death in 1990. They started married life in the Milwaukee area moving to New Berlin, Wisconsin in 1959 where they raised their two sons. She was a devoted member of St. Luke Catholic Church. She worked 27 years for Briggs and Stratton Corporation, Wauwatosa. Gerry and her husband enjoyed fishing and deer hunting together. But her true enjoyment was dancing. If there was music playing, Gerry was on the dance floor with her favorite partner and dear friend, Arthur Rickert.

Gerry was preceded in death by her parents, brothers; Howard, Joseph, Raymond, Edwin, and Gerald DeHate and sisters; Marcelline DeHate and Mabel Trottier.

      The family would like to thank the staff of Brookdale for their wonderful care.
