Gerda Futrell Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She is preceded in death by her parents, Fritz and Gertrud Englert; a son, Gary Futrell; a grandson, Brendan Futrell; and her love of 60 years, Hubert Futrell.
Gerda was a loving mother. She loved animals and would spend time talking and surrounding herself with them, as a child, she could be seen butting heads with sheep. She had a love/hate relationship with flowers, but she enjoyed planting roses and spreading their beauty for others, but not receiving them for herself.
She is survived and loved by her son, James Futrell (Sabrina); daughters, Gabriele and Doris Futrell; and grandchildren, Stephanie, Robyn and Gary.
A Funeral Service will be held at 10:00 AM on Saturday, July 12, 2025 at Dunn Funeral Home of Newton Grove. She will be laid to rest in Hillcrest Cemetery beside her husband of 60 years, Hubert Futrell.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in her memory. (by mail: 501 St. Jude’s Place, Memphis, TN, 38105, by phone: 1-800-805-5856, or online at https://www.stjude.org/donate/donate-to-st-jude.html)
