It is with great sorrow that we announce that our beloved mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend, Gerildene L. Purdy (White),  passed on to heaven on December 1, 2024 at her home in Spokane, WA. She was born on July 5, 1959 to Richard Lee and Alice Charlene Purdy in Deer Park, WA. Geri graduated Deer Park High, Class of '77 and went on to work for the state of Washington for 38 years.

Geri has a younger sister, Renee, that she loved very much and who grew to be her best friend. She also has two sons; Raymond "Dallas" and Jeremy White; one daughter-in-law, Alisa White; 10 grandchildren, Ciara, Gavin, Jaiden, Alexis, Hailee, Rylan, Hunter, Brochlien, Landry and Zoey; nieces Mary and Brittany and nephew Justin.

Geri's loving, kind heart always made anyone who knew her feel at-home and loved. Her whole world was about her family and friends. She has gone to heaven to be with family that she missed dearly and who will live on in our hearts until we reunite and are together again.

In lieu of flowers, it was her wish that donations be made to St. Judes Hospital.
