Geraldine Ann ""Gerri"" Fells

Geraldine ""Gerri"" Ann Fells was a wife, mother and grandmother who loved unconditionally and who most appropriately died on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14. She was 80 years old.

Gerri was born Jan. 30, 1940, in Denver. She was a third-generation Coloradan who grew up in Fort Lupton on a dairy farm. She lived most of her life in Denver and Littleton.

Gerri was an executive assistant to the vice president of Samsonite for 25 years until retiring in 1997.

Gerri, mostly on her own, raised two daughters, Kayleen and Jacki, in a tough neighborhood on the North side of Park Hill. You could think of them like the TV show ""One Day at a Time."" It was a struggle, but there was much love.

Gerri was a member of Hope Fellowship, where she volunteered in the office and made many friends there, including Pastor Paul and Anona, and later joined Brave Church.

Survivors include her husband, Robert ""Bob"" Fells of Littleton; sisters Janet (Delbert) Brewer of Columbus MT, Mary Jo (John) Doughty-Rudell of Weldona, Bernice (Mike) Masters of Hotchkiss, and Ronda (Mark) Thiesen of Fort Lupton.

Grandchildren: Kiah, Louis, Olivia, Jack, Jennifer, Joseph, Sara, Hayden and Taylor. Great grandchildren: Rylee, Ellee and Isabella; and the father of her daughters, Kayleen and Jacki, John McLaughlin of Peoria, Ariz.

She was preceded in death by her parents; Joseph and Josephine Schoenberger, and her sister, Dorothy Johnson.
