Born in McComb, Mississippi to the late John C. and Alice (Tidwell) Chapman, Gerry is also preceded in death by her devoted husband, Ernest C. Dearman and their son Tim Dearman. She is survived by her son Rick Dearman; granddaughter Rachel Dearman; grandsons Ben, Nathan and Matthew Dearman; (4) great-grandchildren and numerous other beloved family members and dear friends.
Ms. Gerry was an executive secretary for the Southern Baptist Convention for many years. She enjoyed cooking meals for her family and spending time with the grandkids. Gerry lived through many decades of change and progress. She was always ready to help those in need. We will miss her kind and generous nature, though her memory will live in our heart forever.
