Ruth Geraldine Hunsucker

Ruth Geraldine (McGinnis) Hunsucker "Gerry" passed away peacefully on January 20, 2026. Gerry was born on November 10, 1934 and spent most of her young life in Glenville, West Virginia. She moved to the Akron area as a high school senior and graduated from Ellet High School in 1952. However, she always considered herself an alumnus of Glenville High School and attended class reunions in Glenville for many years.

After graduating from high school, Gerry worked as a secretary for the Firestone Rubber Company. In 1958, Gerry married the love of her life, Eugene "Gene" Hunsucker and they were married for over 57 years until his passing in 2015.

Gerry resided in Mogadore, Ohio for over 60 years. She was an active member of the Mogadore United Methodist Church during this time, and she served as church secretary for many years. She was also active in the Mogadore PTA and Mogadore Band Boosters. In her later years she was an avid golfer, though she enjoyed dining out after golf at least as much as the golf itself.

During her recent declining health, Gerry marveled at how long she had lived and looked forward to reuniting with her husband Gene in the church triumphant. Gerry is survived by her daughter, Jane Smith (Larry), son, Keith Hunsucker (Linda), and grandsons, Evan Smith and Adam Smith.

Funeral services will be Saturday, February 7th at 11:30am at Mogadore United Methodist Church, 3828 Mogadore Rd. Mogadore, OH 44260 with Rev. David Haydu presiding. Family and friends will be received one hour preceding the service. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Mogadore United Methodist Church, 3828 Mogadore Rd. Mogadore, OH 44260.
