Gerry was born October 10, 1930 to George & Marie (Lovelace) Lindseth in Choteau. Very early in life she was blessed with her step-father, Julian K “Snappy’ Stenson.

Gerry enjoyed cross stitch, gardening, crafts, golfing, and bowling. She was involved in St. Margaret Catholic Church, Cowbells, WIFE, Women of the Moose and the Eagles Lodge.
