Geralynn Sue Werthman

It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Geralynn Sue Werthman on June 3, 2026, just two days before her 62nd birthday. Geralynn is survived by her devoted husband, Thomas Werthman; her dear mother, Yvonne Bova; her loving children, Adam Hubert and Amy (Thomas) Ryan; her cherished granddaughter, Evie, and her soon-to-arrive grandson, Baby Luca; her siblings, Terry (Kurt) Meier and John (Aimee) Bova; as well as many extended family members, friends, and all whose lives were touched by her kindness and love. She was preceded in death by her father, Jack Bova. Geralynn was born on June 5, 1964, and spent her life caring for others with a generous heart, unwavering devotion, and a kindness that touched everyone she met. She had a remarkable gift for making people feel loved and remembered. Whether it was a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or any special occasion, Geralynn never missed an opportunity to send a card, offer a thoughtful gift, or remind someone how much they meant to her. Her greatest joy in life was her family. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished daughter, caring sister, and the most adoring Nana. She absolutely loved children, especially her granddaughter Evie, the light of her life. She spent many years helping with children's programs and assisting teachers at Trinity Lutheran Church, where her warmth, patience, and loving spirit made every child feel special and welcomed. Geralynn shared a beautiful love story with her husband, Thomas Werthman. They started as high school sweethearts, but went their separate ways after graduating for a time before finding their way back to one another later in life. Their reunion led to a deep and enduring marriage built on friendship, love, laughter, and unwavering support. They were truly best friends. Geralynn took great pride in caring for Tom and always made sure he was looked after, just as she did with everyone she loved. Anyone who knew Geralynn knew that she worried about the people she cared for. Her constant checking in could sometimes drive loved ones crazy, but it came from a place of deep love and concern. She simply wanted to know that everyone was safe, happy, and okay. Taking care of others was who she was. Geralynn loved the colors blue and pink, treasured family gatherings, and found happiness in the simple moments spent with those she loved most. Her heart was biggest when she was with her grandchild. Being Nana was one of her greatest blessings. She leaves behind precious memories with her beloved granddaughter, Evie, and she eagerly anticipated the arrival of her grandson, Baby Luca, due in July. Geralynn's legacy is one of love, compassion, and selfless care for others. She spent her life making people feel special, remembered, and loved. Her family and friends will forever cherish her thoughtful heart, gentle spirit, and the countless ways she cared for those around her. Though she will be deeply missed, the love she gave so freely will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her. A memorial gathering will take place on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, from 9:00am until the time of the memorial service at 11am at Trinity Lutheran Church, 45160 Van Dyke, Utica, MI 48317.
