About Gerri was a key player in Spencer receiving it's first JROTC "Honor Unit with Distinction" rating after the 1975 Annual Federal Inspection. Her devotion and attention to detail earned the S1 Adjutant's office a 99% grade, the highest of any of the other staff elements (S2 Weapons, S3 Operations, S4 Supply, and S5 Public Affairs). Gerri was also a big alumni supporter in coordinating several Benning Bratz reunions in 1988, 2000, 2002 and 2004. Thanks you for a job well done, Gerri.

Ms. Geralyn Simone Gagnon Porter, age 66, of LaGrange, passed away on May 12, 2025. Geralyn was born on November 29, 1958 in Fort Hood, Texas to Lionell C. Gagnon and Lorraine R. Violette Gagnon. She was preceded in death by her father and her dearest friend, Teresa McLean.

She was also a proud and loving grandmother to Zachary, Jason, John Luke, Alaina, Luke, Victoria and Bryant.

Geralyn was a devoted supporter of St, Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and had a generous heart and passion for helping others. She loved exploring waterfalls, traveling, and spending quality time with those she loved. Some of her happiest moments were spent playing cards with her dear friends, Ganea and Doug. She had a lifelong affection for animals and found joy in browsing craft fairs and antiquing with friends and family.
