Gerald (Gerry) Fiagle, of Providence, Utah – dedicated husband, father, grandfather, and friend – passed away on January 5, 2023, at the age of 82.
Gerry was born to Lawrence and Wilma Fiagle in Moline, IL on August 9, 1940. He graduated from Moline High School in 1958 before attending Palmer College of Chiropractic and graduating in 1969. He then started his 53-year career as a Doctor of Chiropractic.
Gerry met his wife-to-be, Marilee Hendricks, on a blind date. They were engaged and married one year later on June 17, 1961 and sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple May 25, 1964. Together they were blessed with a large and loving family. Their romance lasted all 61 years and was blessed with nine wonderful children, Christopher, Stephanie, Peter, Jennifer, James, Jeremy, Heather, Amanda, and Shawn, 29 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. His wife, children, and grandchildren were the highlight of his life. Gerry and Marilee called Providence home for 52 years.
Through the years, Gerry enjoyed playing the accordion in his dance band, singing in Ward choirs, and working on genealogy. Gerry faithfully served in many church callings for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Being social was a special gift upon which Gerry was bestowed. Anyone who knew Gerry was touched by his kindness and humor. Selflessness and generosity were two traits that highlighted his personality.
Gerry is survived by his wife, Marilee; his children: Christopher Fiagle, Peter (Janette) Fiagle, Jennifer Fiagle, James (Kari) Fiagle, Jeremy Fiagle, Heather (Kevin) Bergsjo, Amanda (Matt) Coombs, and Shawn (Emily) Fiagle; 29 grandchildren; 7 great-grandchildren; and his sister Cindy (Larry) Jones of East Moline, IL.
