Lucille Gerratt of Chestnut Hill, MA passed away on April 1, 2024. Beloved wife of the late Irving Gerratt. Devoted mother of Emily (David) and Bradley (Susan).

Graveside services will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations in Lucille’s memory may be made to Casa Myrna, casamyrna.org.

Lucille grew up in Boston and attended the Boston Public Schools. She and Irving met where she worked and later married in April 1948. They lived in Boston until moving to Sharon in 1950 where Lucille ran a small office for the growing family printing business for many years.

She started making small investments in the stock market in the 1970s, first with the advice of a stockbroker and, later, on her own. She learned about the stock market quickly and became an expert. Her passion was such that Brad and Emily understood she was declining when she stopped paying attention to the market (at age 96!).

In 1988, Irving and Lucille retired to their summer home on Cape Cod. Lucille served as Treasurer of the resident-led condominium management association for several decades, while Irving served as president. They were known as the “go-to team” whenever an issue arose in the community.

After Irving died in 2022, Lucille moved to an assisted living facility in Chestnut Hill where she loved engaging with the staff and residents.

Family and friends meant everything to Lucille. Her greatest pleasure was serving special meals to friends and family visiting her and Irving, especially after they retired on Cape Cod. Her curiosity was evident in the kitchen, always working to tweak the recipes to perfection. Eating and talking around the dining room table was the way she liked to bring people together.
