Geraldine Guido

1942 - 2017

Geraldine "Jeri" Guido, 74, of Lower Burrell, passed away peacefully Saturday, March 4, 2017, at home, surrounded by her family, after a valiant battle with cancer. She was born November 1942, in Tarentum, to the late Helen Zaboski and the late David Brooks. She was a 1959 graduate of Tarentum High School, and lived and worked in the A-K Valley her entire life. Whether it was cooking, baking or canning, Jeri loved feeding people. She also loved spending time with her family, especially her grandbabies, and sunning by the pool. She attended numerous churches in the area and enjoyed listening to contemporary Christian music, particularly the Gaither Family Homecomings.

Also surviving are the much-beloved siblings she found later in her life, Jim (Nancy) Brooks, Patty Rubin, Ron (Mary) Brooks, Tom (Joyce) Brooks, Richard (Brenda) Brooks, and David Brooks, and all their families; her "adopted" sisters, Marilyn Ballard and Jackie Tuxill, and their families; and her invaluable caregivers. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her daughter, Jill Guido; and sister, MaryAnn Lewis.
