On Sunday, Jan. 30, 2022, she lost her last battle with cancer in her home, surround- ed by her family at the age of 81. She grew up in The Dalles and as a youngster danced for the Elea- nor Borg Tap Dancing Studio. Gerry and her partner, Eddie Hamilton, entertained lodges and events around the area. When Gerry was a junior she moved to Sher- man County and graduated from “The New Sherman County High School” in the class of 1958. In July 1959, she married her childhood sweetheart, Dwayne Carroll, who was serving in the United States Air Force. Upon his honorable discharge, they purchased a section of land in the Ordnance/Hermiston area and put in some of the very first circle irrigation in Eastern Oregon. In 1965, their daughter, Jeanne, was born, followed close- ly by their son, Larry, in 1966. Both kids graduated from Riverside High School in Boardman and went on to graduate from BMCC in Pendleton. Gerry’s greatest pleasure in life was caring for her husband and family. Her dreams came true when her son, Larry, and daughter-in-law, Vickee, started farming the ranch in Hermiston and her daughter, Jeanne, and son-in-law, Joe, started farming her childhood ranch in Sherman County. She truly was, one of a kind. Her generous, kind nature and positive attitude helped her to battle cancer multiple times starting in her mid twenties. She never felt sorry for herself, was always more concerned with the problems of others and was always there to help when there was a need. She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Dwayne; daughter, Jeanne, and husband, Joe Dabulskis, Sherman County; son, Larry and wife, Vickee Carroll, Hermiston; grandchildren, Julie and husband, Alex Devlaeminck, Sherman County, Tyler Carroll and wife, Tessa, Hermiston, Mic Dabulskis, Sherman County and Amy Dabulskis, The Dalles; three great-grandchildren, Aiden, Kinsley and Remy.
