Geraldine Elizabeth "Gerry" Wallace

Geraldine Elizabeth "Gerry" Wallace, 55, of Albany, Ohio, passed away tragically in her home in the early morning hours of Friday, February 6, 2026. Gerry was born in Glasgow, Scotland but now resides in Ohio; she was an immigrant of this country since the young age of sixteen. Gerry was the daughter of the late Thomas L. Wallace and Patricia Anderson McGregor who survives her in Virginia.

Gerry married Dennis W. Hartley, who survives her in Albany, Ohio. She is also survived by a daughter, Jade A. Wallace Dray of Portland, Ohio; a son, James R. Wallace of Jackson, Ohio; her mother, Patricia Anderson of Virginia; brother, Robert Wallace of Virginia; and sister, Deborah Wallace of Virginia, as well as a large extended family in her home country of Scotland.

Gerry was a Registered Nurse for ten plus years and changed many lives through her caring nature and kindness she showed everyone. Gerry was currently an employee of Ohio University, Athens in the Culinary Department. She was a Catholic with a firm belief in God. Gerry enjoyed traveling, caring for her horse, Adrian, and all her houseplants, dancing, and caring for others. Most of all, Gerry loved spending time with her grandson, Jax B. Dray, and was so proud to be his Mimi. She was the proudest Mimi you would ever meet. Jax and Gerry tragically passed away together that day; Jax, in his Mimi's arms, protecting him as she always was and still is, until the day we shall all be joyfully reunited in Heaven once more.

A Gathering of Family and Friends will be held from 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. February 21, 2026 at Willis Funeral Home. Always and Forever, they will be in our hearts and never be forgotten.
