Gerolyn Marie Trepagnier

Gerry Trepagnier died July 31, 2014 of complications from Alzheimer's disease. She was born in Texas City, Texas October 30, 1935. After high school she attended schools at the University of Texas Medical School in Galveston and Charity Hospital in New Orleans to earn her certificate as a Radiology Technician. She worked at M. D. Anderson Hospital, the University of Texas Health Center, and Earl K. Long Hospital in Baton Rouge where she became the department head. After her retirement she moved to Houston, Texas.

People who knew her remember her ready smile and infectious laughter. Even in the worst of her disease she never lost the ability to laugh and to greet everyone with her smile. She loved to travel with friends and family, and visited many parts of Europe, Canada, Mexico, and North America.

Eight years ago her life changed with the onset of Alzheimer's. We celebrate the release of her spirit from that disease, remembering the wonderful person who traveled through our lives.

Gerry was predeceased by her parents Oscar Joseph and Cecile Trepagnier, sisters Patricia Ann Trepagnier, and Phyllis Provost. She is survived by her sister and close companion Diane Trepagnier Hasbargen and husband David Hasbargen, brother Carl Trepagnier and wife Susan. She is lovingly remembered by her nephew Alan Provost; nieces Patti Trepagnier Money-Coutts, Teresa Trepagnier Craighead, Renee Trepagnier, Michele Trepagnier, Sarah Trepagnier, Brandi Breaux; and their spouses and children.

Graveside services will be held at Mount Olivet Cemetery, Dickinson, Texas on Friday, August 8, 2014 at 11am. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Alzheimer's foundation: www.alzfdn.org
