Gerald Edward Tansey's Obituary
Gerald lived a life in which he needed little and gave much, providing his family with
constant love and support. Against many odds he courageously fought Acute Myeloid
Leukemia for 17 months, providing his loved ones with additional opportunities to share
time and make memories. Gerald leaves a legacy of love, strength, courage and
selflessness for all who were privileged to know him.
Gerald is now reunited with his loving wife of 33 years, Margaret (Peg) Tansey; daughter,
Denise Newmons; father and mother, Frank and Ernestine Tansey; siblings Michael
Tansey and Sharon Tansey. He leaves his daughter, Diane Luckey and children Nadia
and Antonio Alvarez; daughter Cheri Saez, son-in-law, Anibal Saez Jr. and sons, Jordan,
Ryan and Jared; daughter Lora Braucher, son-in-law Jim Braucher and sons Nolan and
Keagan; son-in-law Terry Newmons and grandchildren Thomas and Ana Prohias. Gerald
also leaves behind his beloved siblings, Ronald Tansey, Frank Tansey, John Tansey,
Sally Emory, Diane Socha, Janet Tansey and Patrick Tansey; numerous nieces, nephews,
aunts and cousins.
