Obituary for Gerry DeMeo

"To the DeMeo family, Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful person with the rest of us... Your Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother was a treasure and brought sunshine every morning for my family and all the other families in Wyman's Fields. Anyone who grew up in Rockland and played sports knew Gerry the Bus Driver and how passionate a Bulldog Fan she was both on and off the bus.

She brought passion, fun, and dedication to her role every day - I'm pretty sure, looking back that she never looked at what she did as a job, it was an advocation that she was born to do.

So sorry for your loss,

The Mellor Family"

"I would like to extend my sincerest sympathies to the DeMeo family. I have many fond memories of Gerry's kindness, caring, and hospitality as she welcomed me into the DeMeo home in my younger days. To say she was one of a kind is an understatement. That she impacted so many lives in such positive fashion should give your family great solace in a sad time."

"I'm so sorry for your loss. Gerry was my first bus driver and I drove on her bus for a few years. She always had a smile to greet us when we were getting on the bus. The best thing was when I found out she played Santa at our family friends Christmas parties. She was truly a treasure and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to know her. To her family, thank you for sharing her with all of us school kids for all those years. Rest easy Gerry you will be missed."

"To the DeMeo family, I am sorry for your loss. Anyone who grew up in Rockland knew Gerry as "Gerry the bus driver. If there was a hall of fame for bus drivers and bulldog fans, Gerry would be at the top of the list. Let's sound the cowbell for Gerry. May she rest in peace."

"To the DeMeo family, please accept my sincere condolence at the passing of dear Gerry. Although I only knew Gerry for the past few years, I could tell that she was really something special! Gerry was always very bright and positive and lit up a room with her great personality! Rest in the sweetest of peace Gerry, you were one of the best!"

"Not an exaggeration Gerry was and always will be a legend in Rockland! She was my bus driver from the 70's..always at the end of the school year she would take the whole bus out for ice cream she was always caring to the kids if they forgot to brush their hair she had a brush and a comb on hand and would brush it out for you she was like a mom she was a friend she was everything I still talk about Gerry to my kids! a bus driver right? she was way more than that I love Gerry I will always remember her I always talk about her she earned every bit of my respect and I'm glad she lived a pretty full life cuz she deserves it if there's anyone that deserves to be on this earth a little longer it was her.. and who could forget her love for Dalmatians"
