Geraldine “Geri” was born on October 12, 1936 to Elmer and Selma Nutt in Bad Axe, Michigan. She grew up outside Kinde, Michigan where she graduated from high school in 1954. After high school, Geri attended Ferris Institute in Big Rapids where she met the love of her life Eugene “Gene” Lawson. They were married on June 25, 1955.
Gene and Geri lived in Montana and Florida and various areas of Michigan before settling down outside Henderson, MI. Geri worked for many years as a telephone sales rep for Sears in Owosso. She also worked with her good friend Dottie Foster at Dottie’s Deli in Chesaning. Most of all, Geri enjoyed being a homemaker and taking care of her family. She loved listening to the music Gene and her boys would play, and often jumped in with her tambourine and sang along. Geri was a member of Salem Lutheran Church in Owosso for many years and more recently was a member of Oakley Community Church.
Geri is survived by her sons, Craig (Carlene) Lawson of Brady, Todd (Wendy) Lawson of Freeland and Chad (Karen) Lawson of Haslett; her grandchildren, Lauren (Kurt) Klocek, Paige (Adam) Housner, Sam and Kate Lawson; her great-grandchildren Lucy and Macy Klocek, and Jack and Connor Housner; her best friend and “big sister” Ann Nutt; as well as many nieces, nephews and other loving family and friends.
Geri is preceded in death by her husband of 63 years, Gene Lawson, her parents Elmer and Selma Nutt, her brothers Wesley and Elwood Nutt, and baby sister Delphina.
Memorial contributions are suggested to Compassionate Ministry at Oakley Community Church.
