Obituary: Gerri was born 13, 1922 in the steel town of Terra Haute, Indiana. Her loving, devout-Catholic parents, Eugene and Marie (Pat) Gocke, no doubt helped shape her deep faith, strong work ethic, and caring heart. She had an older brother, Anthony(Tony); a younger sister, Joan; and a younger brother, Gilbert(later known as Brother Martin). She lost her mother at the age of thirteen. Gerri, along with her sister Joan, assumed the responsibilities of cooking, laundry and many other tasks that most 7th graders take for granted. In spite of her domestic responsibilities, Gerri excelled at school. She graduated high school in 1940.



In 1941, a job relocation for her father moved the family to Little Rock, AR. . Gerri, her father, and sister (Joan) all found work at the Pine Bluff Arsenal. In 1943, at the height of WWII, Gerri joined the US Marines Women’s Corps. the war, she continued her education, graduating with a B.S. in Economics from St Mary of the Woods ; known as one of the best Universities in the Mid-West. Following graduation she took an extensive student group tour of Europe in which she stayed with host families. It gave her a deep insight into European culture and society. Upon her return, she began a dietician’s internship in New York. Her further work as a dietician enabled her to be selected to plan the opening of the Food Service Department at the newly built St. Vincent Hospital in Little Rock, AR. .



In 1955, Gerri joined the US Army Medical Corps. She was assigned to Colorado Army Hospital in Ft Carson, Colorado as Assistant Chief of Food Production and Chief of Ward Food Services. Soon she was promoted to 1st Lieutenant and made Chief of Food Services and Club Officer in the 11th Evac. Hospital in Sendai, Japan.



In the 1960’s, Gerri’s desire to help the very poor led her to join Catholic Relief Services. She risked life and limb delivering food to the homeless in Pakistan and impoverished Vietnamese who were being plundered by the Vietcong. It was always a risky endeavor, but there were a few times in which she barely escaped with her life.



Upon her return to the U.S., she continued to build on her education. She eventually completed three masters’ degrees. She was a grade school teacher and also taught English at UCA, UALR and Pulaski Tech.



Perhaps the activity that was most fulfilling to Gerri was her volunteer work with Hospice . She would visit with terminally ill patients; holding their hands, sharing Bible verses, playing their favorite music or just talking about the fondest memories of their lives. She was a volunteer with Hospice for over 10 years, receiving the “Outstanding Volunteer Service” award. She was also the recipient of the “Outstanding Public Service” award from the State of Arkansas and the “Volunteer Excellence Award” from the Governor of Arkansas.



Although Gerri kept a busy schedule with her work, volunteer activities, travel and education; she always made time for friends and family. She was a brilliant lady with a quick wit and a great sense of humor. Her empathetic, caring personality shined like a light. She was incredibly creative. Painting, making pottery and sketching were a few of her favorite creative releases. Many of the birthday cards she gave, she made herself; decorating them with cut-out letters, picked flowers and her own drawings. She loved spending time with her nephews and nieces, great nephews and nieces, in-laws and friends. she retired, she made many new friends at her retirement home “Audubon Pointe” and the Maumelle Senior . She particularly enjoyed her tenure on the Senior ’s Maumelle Diamonds Bean Bag Baseball Team. Rumor has it, not surprisingly, she was quite a contender. The topic of this team always brought a spark to her eye, as she enthusiastically recapped the most recent tournament’s highlights and “MVP” for her family.



Gerri Marie Gocke left this world 2, 2015 to be with God, whom she served throughout her life. She touched countless lives with her caring and compassion. She will be remembered fondly and missed by dozens of nieces and nephews and friends. She was preceded in death by her brothers Martin (Gilbert) and Anthony, and her sister Joan.
