WRIGHTSBORO Gerry Teachey Williamson, 81, passed away peacefully Monday, Feb. 1, 2021, surrounded by her family.
Gerry was full of life; funny and fun-loving, yet meticulous in planning and execution of projects, whether it be managing the operations of a dredge in her career with Great Lakes Dredge and Dock or creating hundreds of Christmas cookies for friends and family each year.
Born in Rose Hill in 1939 to Audrey Farrior Teachey and Alfred Elmo Teachey, she grew up surrounded by her brothers and sister and many cousins. Her grandparents, Lucy Southerland Farrior and Hatch Ward Farrior, played a big part in her upbringing, as did many aunts and uncles. Her brothers are Alfred Teachey of Nevada and Dwight Teachey of Pender County, and his wife, Linda Edens Teachey; and her sister is Judy McCloud of Wilmington. Their children are her dear nieces and nephews.
