Geraldine Purdie Fehr

June 29, 1939 - September 10, 2013

Geraldine “Gerrie” Purdie Fehr returned to her Heavenly Father and the loving embrace of her eternal companion, Gary on Sept. 10, 2013 due to age-related illness. She was born in Odgen, Utah on June 29, 1939 to Bruce James and Mary Dodds Purdie. She moved to San Francisco when she was 3 and lived there until she married the love of her life, Gary Earl Fehr on Oct. 27, 1959 in the Los Angeles Temple. They moved to Utah and eventually settled in their home in Midvale where Gerrie lived for over 50 years. Gerrie was an active member of the LDS Church and served in many callings during her life. She worked for the FBI and as a supervisor for Snelgrove’s Ice Cream for many years. Her family and her love for her Heavenly Father were of utmost importance to her. Gerrie’s life was dictated by generosity, service, kindness, and love. Those who were touched by her life cannot deny what a sweet and loving woman she was, and her influence lives on in the lives of those who knew and loved her. She loved movies, music, dancing, and traveling. She is survived by her 4 children, Karen Rivera (Richard), Keith (Natalee), Steven (Isaias Urrabazo), and Shelly Glad (Todd); brother, Bruce Purdie; and 10 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. Preceded in death by her husband; mother and father; stepfather, Ralph Prather; and brother, John Purdie.
