Born on New Battle Grove Circle, Dundalk, MD, on January 24, 1939, she was the daughter of the late Vincent Caravello and Margaret Nadolny Petruccy. Gerry (as she was known by her family and friends) grew up in New Battle Grove Circle and graduated from Sparrows Point High School in 1957, where she was a baton twirler in the marching band, and met the love of her life, Al. They were married in 1957, and shortly after were stationed in Germany where they had their first child Pam in 1960. They returned to Dundalk, MD, in 1961 shortly before giving birth to their second child Al, Jr. In 1967, her second son Kevin was born. The family enjoyed many summers at Taylors Island camping, crabbing and fishing. Gerry was a homemaker until 1985 when then she and her husband started Alason Electrical Contractors Inc. where she was the Secretary/Treasurer. In 1988, they built their dream home on the Wye River on the Eastern Shore of MD where they still reside. Gerry was an active member of the Ladies Auxiliary Unit 296 where she served as treasurer, baked for the American Legion, and was an avid shuffleboard player until she succumbed to her illness. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family and friends at their home:, crabbing in the Wye River, swimming in the pool, watching Hallmark Christmas movies with her girls, and participating in annual Cornhole Tournaments.
