Geraldine “Gerry” Garrett Lamz Baird passed away peacefully at her home on 
Sunday, June 21, 2015, at the age of 84. 

She was born March 18, 1931, in Chicago, Illinois to Dewey and Emma Garrett. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, and her beloved husband of more than 
50 years, Robert “Bob” Baird, who passed before her just nine months ago.

Gerry is survived by her sons: James “Jim” Lamz (Deanna), Randy Lamz and Brian 
Baird; three grandchildren: James “Jimmy” Lamz (Nicole), Miranda Lamz and 
Jonathan Lamz; eight great grandchildren; several sisters and brothers: Sharon 
Olmsted, Karen McGlothin, Leonard Garrett (Bea), Albert Garrett (Marleen) and 
Patricia Thomas (Ralph); several nieces, nephews and friends.

Although Gerry may have officially died of “natural causes,” in our hearts and 
minds she died from a “broken heart.” Once Bob was no longer there to share her 
life, her health declined and her reason for living seemed to disappear. Gerry 
left this earth to be with her soulmate and the love of her life. When the 
thunder rumbles, we will smile to ourselves as we picture Gerry and Bob dancing 
the two-step in the clouds for eternity!

Thank you Jim Lamz, Sharon Olmsted and Desiree Doucet for your relentless care 
and devotion provided to Gerry since Bob’s passing. Although no one could ever 
fill Bob’s cowboy boots, she truly enjoyed the meals, attention, phone calls 
and love shown to her.

Private services will be held for family on Friday. 

Donations to the American Legion Post 185 in Slidell preferred in lieu of 
flowers.
