Geraldine "Gerri" Estanich Koch

Geraldine “Gerri” Estanich Koch passed away Wednesday, July 31, 2024, in her home. She was born October 6, 1946, in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, a daughter of the late William L. Estanich and Geraldine Olenic Estanich. Gerri went to St. John's High School in Uniontown and graduated in 1964. She then attended Point Park Jr. College in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She had a natural and innate style for interior design. She was an exceptional cook and her Julia Child cookbooks on Mastering the Art of French Cooking are all dog eared and well worn. Gerri was also an avid equestrian and fox hunter. Her strong work ethic and meticulous attention to detail always ensured that any project she took on would yield successful results. Gerri was a great friend to many. May her memory be eternal. On November 26, 1966, she married Robert Allen Koch, who survives. Also surviving are her son, David (Tina) Koch; her sister, Bonita “Boni” (Tom) Granata; and many other family members and friends. Arrangements are private and entrusted to William G. Neal Funeral Homes, Ltd., 925 Allison Avenue, Washington. A guest book is available at www.NealFuneralHome.com.
