Armstrong

Geraldine “Gerri” A. Armstrong, 85, of Saxonburg, passed away Tuesday, March 11, 2025, at Allegheny Valley Hospital.

Born Sept. 9, 1939, in Pittsburgh, she was the daughter of Pete Polansky and Julia Skwortz Polansky.

Gerri was a woman of quiet strength and faith. She enjoyed getting her hands in the dirt, planting flowers and watching things grow, spring being her favorite time of the year. Gerri studied her Bible daily. She enjoyed bingo and going to the casino. Most of all, she enjoyed conversations with friends, family gatherings and was thrilled to know her first great-grandchild. Her door was always open and she was always available to anyone in need.
