OBITUARY
Geraldine Mae Cross
December 22, 1946 – January 18, 2021
Geraldine “Gerry” Mae (Andrews) Cross of Webberville, MI passed away the morning of January 18, 2021. Gerry was born in Lansing, MI to Arnold and Lillian Andrews. Gerry worked as a Data Entry Operator for over 25 years at Michigan State University.

She had a strong love for Elvis Presley, Diet Coke, Lay’s Potato Chips, Peanut Butter & Hershey’s Chocolate Bars, and Florida in the wintertime. Her most favorite times of her short 74 years, were when she was surrounded by her family- especially her daughters, grandkids, and son-in laws. Gerry was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Kenneth Andrews, the love of her life, Gilbert “Butch” Guy Cross, and her Granddaughter, Samantha Sue Arendt. She is survived by her two daughters, Ronni Sue (David) Laux of Dansville, Terri Lynn (Steve) Arendt of Manistee, four grandchildren; Kori Lynn (Michael) Crippen of Onondaga, Loren Renee (Nick) Yonish of Stockbridge, Sydney Victoria Arendt and Annika Lynn Arendt both of Manistee; one great-grandson, Lucas David Crippen; sister Darlene (Roger) Smith of Webberville, Terry (Lila) Andrews of Okemos, Brian(Charlene)Andrews of East Lansing.

Aunt Geri memories... wow. I will never forget going to her house as a kid and seeing her tanning bed thinking- wow, that is so cool! She was one spunky lady with an attitude. I enjoyed when her and my dad would engage in sarcasm and chit chat it always brought me a chuckle.
She will be missed and I pray she is at peace in heaven with uncle Butch and uncle Ken.
Terri and Ronni- you and your families are in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord our God bring you comfort and peace.
