Anna Rose Marie Germaine ''Gerry'' (LePine) Hlavenka 93, of Niagara Falls, NY passed away on Sunday, February 28, 2016 at Northgate Health Care Facility. Born in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada on September 9, 1922 she was the second youngest of 13 children and the daughter of the late Cyrille and Marie (Goupil) LePine.

Gerry worked part time to help support her family. She worked for the Niagara Window Cleaning Service and finally Bowl-O-Drome. She loved to help her husband with his car repair business, loved painting (houses, not
canvases), loved bowling so much that when she lost the ability to bowl right-handed, she learned to bowl with her left hand and kept her average the same. Gerry also enjoyed knitting and crocheting. She was also very proud of her beautiful teeth. She would always smile, which led to the question "where did you get that great set of false teeth".
