Geraldine R. Gutterman NORFOLK - Geraldine "Gerry" Rae Gutterman, 61, beloved and loving Mommy, Wife, Pre- School Teacher and Dear Friend to everyone she ever met passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on March 13, 2008 in Norfolk. Gerry was born on Dec. 7, 1946, in Portsmouth to the late Dave and Rose Glazer. She was married on Dec. 1, 1973, to Herman Jerry Gutterman and gave birth to her pride and joy and the light of her life, her daughter and best friend Amy Lynn on May 12, 1977 at 10:59 p.m. Gerry was always known to say that the day her daughter was born was the happiest day of her life. She was a devoted Mommy and would tell anyone she ever met that her daughter Amy Lynn was her entire world and whole reason for living. Everyone always knew that wherever Amy went her Mommy would be standing right there beside her. Neither one of them could stand to spend even a minute apart. And they had lived together since the day Amy Lynn was born until the day Gerry passed away. Gerry had a deep love and passion for children and was a retired Pre-School Teacher. She couldn't go out anywhere without a former student running up to say hello to "Miss Gerry." Gerry will always be remembered for her caring, giving and thoughtful heart. She never met a stranger and could talk to anyone about anything. She was very compassionate to others and there was nothing that Gerry would not do to help another person who was in need. Gerry was without a doubt the world's best and greatest Mommy and she has left a part of herself in everyone who knew her. Gerry was a kind soul and her gentle heart and spirit will always be remembered. She is survived by her dedicated, devoted and loving daughter and best friend, Amy Lynn Gutterman of the home that they shared together for 30 years who is left to forever cherish her memory and by her husband, Herman Jerry Gutterman both of who are from Norfolk. Gerry touched the lives of so many people with her love and she will be greatly and forever missed by all. Her heart was bigger than life and she was always filled with unconditional love for anyone she met. Gerry had such a love of life and deep compassion for people that made her the special woman that she was. Gerry can now truly rest in peace in a chocolate covered heaven surrounded by piles and stacks of money with the sounds of children's laughter where there are no bills or worries and no hurt and pain as she continues to guide, protect and give strength to her daughter and best friend Amy Lynn as her constant protector and guardian angel. All Gerry ever wanted in this world more than anything else was to see her daughter and best friend Amy Lynn get physically healthy, marry a nice Jewish boy, have a son and daughter so that she could become a Bubbie and get her degree in Child Psychology. Just know Mommy that all of your prayers will be answered. Everything that you have ever wanted for me and more will happen and I know that you will be right there beside me helping me to achieve all of my dreams and goals every step of the way just as you have done my entire life. Mommy as you look down on me from heaven I wish you health, wealth and much happiness because you deserve it just as you always wished for me. I Love You Mommy! Goodnight Sleep Tight! Best Friends Forever! BFF Babies! The graveside service and celebration of Gerry's life will be held at noon today in Chevra Thilim Cemetery, Portsmouth, at the intersection of George Washington Highway and Frederick Boulevard by Rabbi Michael Panitz. Friends may join the family after the service at 101 Talbot Hall Road, Norfolk. H.D. Oliver Funeral Apartments, Norfolk, is handling arrangements.
