Mrs. Geraldine "Geri" Lockner Ewing July 29, 1936 - August 30, 2024

JOHNSON CITY - Mrs. Geraldine "Geri" Lockner Ewing, 88, of Johnson City, Tennessee, passed away at home surrounded by her loving family on Friday, August 30, 2024.

Geri was born into the loving home of Elbert Blaine Lockner and Mary Story Lockner on July 29, 1936, in Erwin, Tennessee.

After her high school graduation, Geri worked as an agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, where she would meet the love of her life, William "Bill" Ellis Ewing, who was also an agent of the F.B.I.
