Private Service

Gerrie Lamberson (nee Staat) passed away on May 5, 2020 at Porter Regional Hospital in Valparaiso, Indiana. She was born on November 3, 1942 to the late Harland and Geraldine Staat. Gerrie was born and raised in Cincinnati Ohio, before marrying and moving to Chicago where she lived for 27 years. She eventually returned to Cincinnati in 1994 where she remained until 2016, when she relocated to Chesterton, Indiana to be closer to her daughters and grandchildren.

Gerrie was a loving and dedicated mother and grandmother first and foremost. She treasured her daughters and grandchildren and embraced every moment with them. She also adored her beloved dog Abigail, who her family often teased was the favorite child of the family. She had a vivacious personality and always made people smile. Her smile could truly light up a room. She made friends everywhere she went. She was a true joy to be around and was loved by all who knew her.

During her life, Gerrie worked for Ryerson Steel, Associated Data Services and most recently Chase Doors, before her retirement in 2014. It was at Chase Doors that Gerrie made many wonderful friends, who she remained close to until her death.

Gerrie was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt who is survived by her daughter Lorrie Hopp and husband Greg, daughter Shannon Richmond and husband John, Grandchildren Kaitlyn and Madison Hopp, Ryan Kendall and John Richmond; Eugene Lamberson; her sister Constance Powell, her brother Steven Staat and her many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her mother and father, and her brothers Paul, Michael and Timothy Staat. All of whom she loved deeply.

Her life was a living example of the Bible verse, Ephesians 4:32 – “And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.”

Given the Covid Pandemic, a private service will be held for immediate family. As life returns to normal, her family will plan to host a memorial to celebrate her life in Cincinnati. You may sign the guest book and leave memories at www.soller-baker.com

I miss you my sweet sister

In memory of Gerrie Anita Lamberson, Arlene Macht lit a candle

Gerrie was a very, very dear friend and co-worker. We worked together for a long time. She was a wonderful, classy, beautiful, kind, loving, sweet lady who would also kick-butt if needed (just ask anyone who heard her talk to doctors or hospitals when she wasn't pleased). She was all about her family and friends, spending time with them, loving them, praying with and for them. She will be greatly missed by every heart she touched along the way especially mine! She was a fighter - fought like crazy to recover over the last 6 months. I'd like to share a few comments from co-workers. "Gerrie was a beautiful person inside and out and truly brought some class to Chase Doors (?). She will be missed but I know she is now lighting up heaven with her contagious smile. ~ Kristel" "I’m really sorry about Gerrie, I know how close you two were. When I think of her, I smile… she really lit up the room with her beautiful smile and made you feel loved. She was an amazing person. ~Tina H" "I am so sorry to hear about Gerrie. We all loved her but I know you two were especially close. Even though we hate to see her pass and know she is in a better place without anymore suffering, it doesn't change how much she will be missed. Sending comforting prayers for you and her family." ~ Tina M She is now at peace in heaven surrounded by her family and friends that went before her. Lorrie and Shannon - your mom will always be with you!

My condolences to Gerrie's fsmily. Gerrie was a beautiful perdon, kind, caring and loving. I am so sorry. May she rest in peace.

Tragic loss of a beautiful woman, my prayers are with all whom loved her! Tammy

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I had the privilege of knowing Gerrie for 35 years after becoming close friends with her daughter Lorrie. She was truly one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever met. She made me part of her family and I am so grateful for having known her.

I’m so sorry for your loss

To my beautiful sister Gerri. I miss you so very much. I remember all of the good times we had growing up, God has truly gained another angel in heaven. You are now with Mom, Dad and our brothers.

I had the pleasure of working with Gerrie for many years at Chase. I can't even think about her without smiling, because she was just that kind of person. She was loved by all that knew her and will be missed by many. Prayers to all of her family.

Gerrie was such a sweet women. It was a privilege to work with her at Chase Doors and it was because of her that I was hired. She said she new she would like me when she heard my answering machine message and how cheerful my voice sounded. Gerrie loved the Geico Hump Day camel commercial, and I would play it for her every Wednesday. I send my prayers and condolences to her family. I know she is missed already! Sandy Wethington

I worked at Chase with Gerrie for several years. She was amazing woman that I was proud to call my friend. She was truly a wonderful, beautiful lady. She will be missed by so many. Keeping all her family and friends in my prayers.

Had the great pleasure and honor of working with Gerrie for 10 years that I will treasure forever. A very special lady.May she Rest In Peace

I am still trying to believe she is gone. I have met few people in my life who have left such an indelible impression on me as Gerrie. She was cool in a sassy kind of way, introspective and fair in a professional kind of way, unaffected by her beauty in a casual confident kind of way, but mostly a champion for the under dog and a true example of a Christian woman in the best kind of way. Heaven has certainly gained an angel. I worked with her for many years and we shared a love for our yorkies. I will miss her..... God Speed, my friend. ?

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
