ROCHESTER - Geraldine "Gerry" Bass, died peacefully on Tuesday, February 16, 2016, in the presence of her husband of 46 years, Jim Bass of Rochester, N.H.

From humble beginnings, Gerry made an adventurous life for herself, traveling all over the United States and the world with her family.

She was extraordinarily loyal to family, friends, and country.
