Geraldine A Abshire

September 6, 1950 - January 21, 2022

Geraldine "Gerrie" A. Abshire, 71, passed away peacefully on January 21, 2022, surrounded by her daughters. She was born September 6, 1950 in Cleveland to Lawrence and Frances Ziegler (both deceased). Gerrie was a loving mother and grandmother who will be dearly missed. She attended North High School and remained active in the alumni organization. Gerrie was a devoted member of ALANON since 1988, and attended many spiritual weekends. She taught medical billing for many years at Lakeland Community College. Gerrie loved to travel, going on many trips with her dearest friends. She loved to garden, sit by the lake and take pictures of the sunsets, and dance and listen to music. Gerrie was an avid Cleveland sports fan, especially the Browns. She loved to spend time with her "crazy" family, most of all, her grandsons. Gerrie is survived by her four daughters, Michelle Abshire Roseling; Caron (Don) Noe; Laurie Abshire; and Patty (John) Abshire-Mosnja; grandsons, Xavier Abshire and Braden Roseling, nephew Mike (Julie) Ziegler, and many nieces. Gerrie was preceeded in death by her husband, Kenny; her son, Jason Brainard; and her brothers, Michael, and Joseph Ziegler. She wanted us to celebrate her life and memory, and not resonate in sadness. We will plan a Celebration of Life in the Spring. Visitation will be on Monday, January 31st from 4 - 6 pm at Monreal Srnick Funerals and Cremations, 35400 Curtis Blvd, Eastlake. A memorial service will immediately follow at 6 pm at the funeral home.
