Audrey Geraldine "Gerry" Burger

Audrey Geraldine Burger (nee Bosley) graduated from her earthly journey into the promise of eternal life with Our Lord Jesus Christ at 12:20 a.m. on the 3rd of January, 2024. “Gerry” as she was fondly known by all her loved ones including family, neighbors, and likely everyone whom she encountered, will undoubtedly be remembered for her routine smile, personal inclusion of individuals, and her perpetual thoughtfulness/kindness. She enjoyed talks (telephone not included), long walks, and routine visits with her children, grandchildren, neighbors, and friends. Born May 22, 1931 on a farm in the area of Lewisdale, Md., Her parents were Myrtle Virgina (Day) and Lee Roy Bosley. Gerry was the last surviving member of her siblings. Sisters were Bernice Woodfield Johnston, Dorothy Mocarsky, Cora Day Hitchcock, Arlene M. Main, Rosalie Gue, Shirley Butt and brother Frankie Bosley. With her marriage to Eugene S. “Gene” Burger on the 25th of September 1965 at the Damascus Methodist Church, two families joined. She energetically and continually contributed to sustaining and nurturing this connection. As a result of her tenacity in this arena, we are blessed to report that six cherished children and their spouses; Jerry Wayne King (Denise), Warren Eugene Burger, Kenneth Eugene King (Ellen), Terry Burger Troupe (Jeff), Cheryl Ann King, & Christie Burger Masser (Dave) will carry on holding her close in their collective hearts and fond memories. Gerry welcomed twelve grandchildren into her expansive embrace: Emily Cave (Chad), Filecha Kolb, Jacob King (Amanda), Trisha Andrews Dalton, Jana Roberts (Jonathan), Carrie Weady (Tyler), Jared W. King (Wendy), Kelly King, Janelle King Ausherman (Donnie), James “Jay” Joyce, Kristin King Carriker (Scottie), Nina Gordon (fiancé AJ), Further, Gerry reveled in the knowledge that she cherished twenty-two great grandchildren within her family.
