Gerry's love for learning continued to be an important part of her life. She believed all children should be given a quality education and strived to help her students achieve their optimum level of learning. Gerry taught at Sheyenne Public School for 28½ years and retired in 1989. The community of Sheyenne soon became a vital part of Gerry's life and her commitment was evident in her involvement.

She also belonged to the Sheyenne Garden Club, Degree of Honor Lodge, and Sheyenne Bridge Club. Gerry was a member of the Sheyenne Heritage Society and was a co-chairman of the book, "Our Heritage".

Gerry was instrumental in acquiring the historical "Log Cabin Museum" and was actively involved in its operation. She was a member of Grace Lutheran Church, where she taught Sunday School, served on the Church Council, and was active in Lydia Guild and LCW. Her love for Christ was apparent in all aspects of her life.
