GERALDINE CARLSON Obituary

Geraldine Carlson, 90 7/26/1920 - 3/20/2011 Mom peacefully passed away on March 20th. She was born in Milton, the youngest of 7 brothers and sisters, and raised in Tacoma. She was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Maynard Carlson, whom she met at UPS and married in the UPS chapel. Later she had a career at the UPS student loan office. She is survived by 2 sons, James [Harriet] of Chepachet, RI and daughter Erica, and Wayne of Olalla and daughter Kristina. I'd like to thank Kim and Jillian of Claire Bridge in Gig Harbor and Joanne from Franciscan Hospice. A small family gathering will be at a later date.
