Geraldine “Geri” L. Knorr, 67, of Frackville, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on June, 18, 2026,  surrounded by her family. Born on November 4, 1958, at the Locust Mountain Hospital in Shenandoah Heights, Pennsylvania, Gerri lived a life filled with love, hardship, and devotion to those closest to her.
Preceded in death by her parents, Mary (Bobal) Podgurski and Joseph Podgurski of Frackville, her sister, Joanne (Podgurski) Williamson of Buck Mountain; and her nephew, Jeffrey Williamson of Buck Mountain.
A proud 1976 graduate of North Schuylkill Jr./Sr. High School, she was an avid supporter of the North Schuylkill Spartans football team and Girls Basketball. Gerri continued her education at the Ashland State General Hospital School of Nursing, graduating in 1977 earning her Licensed Practical Nursing degree and licensure. She worked as a nurse there for several years before dedicating herself fully to her greatest calling — being a loving wife, mother, and homemaker. She raised her children with endless love, warmth, and happiness.
Geri was a former member of St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church of Frackville and the Bethany Evangelical Church of Ashland. In addition, she as a loyal member of the Good Fellowship Club in Ashland and the VFW Post 7654, Ashland. 

She was never one to turn down a good party! Geri loved music, cooking, dancing, singing, playing the skills machines and scratching her lottery tickets. Her sense of humor, unforgettable storytelling, and spot-on imitations brought laughter and joy to everyone around her.
Geri will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Her warmth, strength, and unwavering love for family and friends will forever remain in the hearts of those she touched.
Geri is survived by her husband of 40 years, Richard J. Knorr; her son, Clair J. (C.J.) Quick and his wife Amy of Tamaqua; her daughter, Stephanie M. Knorr of Centre Hill, State College; her niece, Francine (Williamson) Kozie and her husband Steve; of Buck Mountain, her beloved  and cherished grandson, Jordyn Knorr of Frackville; and granddaughter, Olivia H.
