Born February 12, 1932 in Salmon River, Nova Scotia and married Peter on December 20, 1954 in Bermuda.

She was the daughter of the late Sidney Burnthorn Cox and Ethel Blanche (Johnstone) Cox and sister of David (Dave) Robert Cox.

Gerry first graduated from Colchester Academy and then graduated as a Canadian Registered Nurse from the Aberdeen School of Nursing.
