- Guestbook
Born in Munday, Texas on May 18, 1940, Gerrie graduated from Midwestern University in 1966 and moved to Lake Jackson, Texas to pursue a long and rewarding career as an elementary school teacher. Through her 35+ years in the classroom, hundreds of children were blessed by her love for teaching, her creative imagination, and her tireless desire to help every single child achieve their highest potential. Milestones throughout her distinguished career included, grade level head teacher, certified Gifted and Talented educator, and Angleton Independent School District Teacher of the Year.
Gerrie had a most generous spirit and a servant's heart. Family, friends and strangers were all recipients of her generosity at home, at church, at school and in the community. After she retired from teaching, she became a certified Master Gardener and served as an officer in the Lake Jackson Garden Club. She volunteered on many civic boards, including the Brazoria County Library Board. She was a longtime faithful member of Family Life Church and spent many years working in the food ministry as well as other volunteer roles in the church.
Gerrie cared for her home, her garden and her family with meticulous passion. She was a zany and fun loving mother, sister, Granny and Aunt Boo. She absolutely loved spoiling her granddaughters, nieces and nephews. Her great-granddaughter was her pride and joy as we celebrated having 4 generations of girls in our family.
Gerrie was preceded in death by her parents, AC Boggs, Jr. and Mozelle Boggs Lee, her husband Eugene Baccus and her sister, Judy Morgan. Left to carry on her legacy and all of the beautiful things she taught us throughout her life are her daughter, Tracee Herring (Steve Gluck), 2 granddaughters Kristin Juergens (Daniel) and Kippin Fuller (Calvin) and 1 great-granddaughter, Millie Fuller. Also, her sister Sharon Raska (Pete) and brother Chris Boggs (Barbara) and brother-in-law Dennis Morgan; nieces and nephews Kent Morgan, Keely Morgan, Kelly Johnson (Doug), Gabrielle Raska, Casey Boggs (Caroline), Cody Boggs and Callie Thorndike (Mark); great-niece and nephew Everleigh and Wyatt Johnson.
Family and close friends said their earthly goodbyes at Lakewood Funeral Chapel on November 15, 2021. Gerrie will be laid to rest beside her husband Eugene in the big skies, bright stars and gentle winds of Henson Cemetery, Red Springs, Texas.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Baccus was my 2nd Grade teacher at Westside Elementary in Angleton in 1989, She was one of my all time favorite teachers because she made learning so much fun. I recall her telling us about an invisible fairy that helped out in the classroom, she often baked treats or Jell-O as class rewards, and she told funny stories about her own childhood and "buried treasures" (i.e., broken glass). I have only fond memories of a wonderfully sweet and caring teacher who truly seemed to love her job and students.

Many blessings to you and your family. My father, Clayton Brasher, always said that Jerrie Marie was one of his favorite cousins.

Gerrie Maree was much loved by her cousin, my father, Thurman Brasher. Tracee and I used to play at my grandmother's house as kids (Minnie Brasher).
I am sorry to hear of her passing! She was a lovely, kind and caring woman.
I recently moved back to Europe from Texas, and learned of her passing from my stepmom Mary Brasher.
My deepest sympathies for you loss.

Tracy,
Your mom was one of the sweetest women I have ever met. I have lots of memories of her at the beauty shop with my mom. We were blessed with the greatest moms in the world. Take care in the weeks to come.
Love,

One of the best teachers and finest human beings I ever met. " She isn't lost, we know where she is."
Till we meet again, Gerrie.

Gerrie and I spent several years as family and great friends and I loved her like a sister. We played tricks on each other as young married couples and then spent many, many hours together traveling back and fourth to Midwestern. The past few years of being able to reconnect with Tracee, my niece, as an adult, has given me the chance to see Gerrie and spend some time with her again. I'm thankful I had the opportunity to do that. My love goes out to Chris and Sharon.

Gerrie Maree was a childhood friend & classmate. Our parents were friends & all members of the same church in Munday, Texas. I wish we could have known each other as adults. May she Rest In Peace.
