Geraldine Goakery Obituary

GOAKERY, Geraldine (nee Breen) - Gone from our lives but never from our hearts, Geraldine lost her courageous battle with cancer at the age of 75 surrounded by her loving children in the loving environment of Ian Anderson House in Oakville on Saturday, May 8, 2010 at 1:30 a.m. She never judged a book by its cover and was always welcoming. She will be sadly missed by her children Jackie (John) Thistle, Barbara (Gary) Curkan, Robert, Stephen (Barb), Eric (Ann), Jo-Anne (Alex) and the late Elaine and David. Cherished Nanny to her 11 grandchildren and 11 great- grandchildren Gary Jr., (Kaetlyn, Sophia), Nicole (Troy, Korina, Trent), Lee (Nicholas, Mathew), Jason (Lucas, Abigail, Isabelle), Jonathon (Collin), Michael, Lisa, Ariel, Holly, Patrick and Naomi. Beloved sister of Margaret, Charlie, Ann, Gary, Terry, Ronnie, Walter, Judy, Malcolm, Mark and the late Rosemary, John, Patrick and Elaine Marie. Dear daughter of the late John and Mary. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Geraldine's memory to Ian Anderson House to help continue the care they provide to so many in their last days.

Hey Momma, you have held my hand and guided me through times when I thought I wouldn't make it through. You gave when you had nothing to give, because you always wanted everything for your children. Even now I can hear you saying "Well dear there's nothing you can do about it, just pray". I'll miss our talks, miss your voice and your keen witt. You were strong right up to the end, I know you are with Elaine and David, can't wait to see you again. You will hold my heart forever RIP you beautiful lady.

I have a life time of memories that I will hold forever. Gerry was the one who took me in when I needed it most. She always had a helping hand for others. Those moments in time will always be etched in my heart. I am sure she is with her beloved Elaine. Much love, from her other daughter, Kathy....
