Mrs. Moore was born September 27, 1936, in Sharon, a son of the late Francis V. and Eunice (Fitzgerald) Smith. She was a 1954 graduate of Sharon High School and attended Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, where she studied Journalism.

Gerry loved working and began her career working for the Sharon Herald, WPIC and UPMC Horizon, Farrell. Later, she was employed as the personnel director for Thiel College and St. Paul's Senior Living Community, both in Greenville. More recently, Gerry worked at the former Greenville Literacy Council, a job she loved, because she was able to make others' lives better.

Her family was always her priority and many of them came to her for sound advice because she was always the smartest person in the room.
