Geraldine Manning

Elizabeth, I have heard so many funny stories about your mom over the years, and some challenging ones more recently, that I feel I've known her personally. I am deeply saddened for you, Laura Jean and Eleni, and your entire family over this great loss. Mary Fazio

Gerry and I had many fun times together. I was her 1st runner-up in the 1996 Ms Senior Pageant. I became the 1997 Ms Senior Illinois and spent a lot of time with a very dear lady. She will be missed.

I remember Gerry so very well as she and I competed in the 1996 Ms Senior Illinois. I was her 1st runner-up and then in 1997 became Ms Senior Illinois. We shared many events together. She will be missed. Martha Smith

Gerri was a talented member of Still Acting Up and performed a dynamic impersonation of Marlene Dietrich. We traveled together in Mexico.
