GERALDINE "GERRI" GULLAGE (née Vander Linden), beloved wife and friend of Lorne Gullage, of Coalhurst, passed away at St. Michael's Health Centre Palliative Care Unit, on Tuesday, June 4, 2019 at the age of 56 years.
Besides her loving husband, Gerri is survived by her son Jesse (Samantha) and granddaughter Alayah of Caronport, SK. She is also survived by Hennie Vander Linden; Gary, Janet, Jared and Alyk Vander Linden; Jean Gullage; Linda & Jim Derksen and family; Gary Gullage and family; Richard Gullage and Lori & Joe Wevers and family.
Gerri was predeceased by her father Gus, father-in-law Ed, brother Roger, grandparents, three nephews, one niece and aunts and uncles.
Gerri was born in Lethbridge, raised in Coalhurst, lived in Lethbridge for a while and returned back to Coalhurst. She was married for 36 years to Lorne, worked at Safeway for 40 years, was a believer in Christ since 1986 and attended Park Meadows Baptist Church. Her great delights in life were her family and friends, her work in youth ministry, camping and above all, her faith in God. She requests that your funeral attire be "personal". Have a T-shirt from a conference / concert / retreat we went to? Ethnic outfit? Camping clothes? Volunteer? Dress up if you want, but as little black as possible. Except for Lorne, because that's his colour.
A Celebration of Life will be held at PARK MEADOWS BAPTIST CHURCH, 2011 - 15 Avenue North, Lethbridge, AB, on Saturday, June 15, 2019 at 11:00 A.M. with Pastor Ryan Thacker officiating. Cremation entrusted to Cornerstone Funeral Home.

Lorne, I am so very sorry to learn of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Our deepest Sympathy is with all of you. We wish that her soul rest in peace and that the Lord bestow the whole family with the strength to heal and move on.
Gerri was such an integral part of the youth ministry at Park Meadows. I still can't imagine her not being here. Several years ago I was asked to fill in on the youth staff for a few months and ended up staying several years, something I could never have done without Gerri's friendship and support. We shared our favourite books, taste in contemporary Christian music, trips to youth conferences and youth staff retreats, love of coffee and chocolate, lots of laughs and tips on teens. I last spoke to Gerri on Mother's Day, but still find myself glancing down from the balcony, expecting to see her in her usual spot, or thinking she must be working at Safeway, off camping or just having a bad day, hoping she'll be back next Sunday. It's hard to express how much we loved and will miss our Gerri. God bless and comfort you, Melody and Greg De Groot and family
My deepest sympathies to the Gullage/Vander Linden families. Gerri was an inspiration to all those who knew her.
Lorne, So sorry to hear this. Sending condolences to you and your family. That smile will be missed by all! May God welcome her with open arms and help you through this!
Never have I known such an amazing woman. She meant more to me than she knew. Forever friends until we meet again. Love and condolences to family and friends.
