Herring Groseclose Funeral Home - Walla Walla Obituary

Geraldine (Kralicek) O’Neill, 79, Walla Walla, suddenly passed away on May 8, in her home.


Gerry was born March 21, 1940, in Twin Falls, Idaho to Mildred and Edward Kralicek.


She was a 1958 graduate of Twin Falls High School. Her passion was music, which she shared in song with all that knew her. She was an original member of the Walla Walla Sweet Adeline's singing for over 30 years, making everlasting friendships. She was a member of the Walla Walla Presbyterian Church choir where she enjoyed singing many of her favorite hymns. She was a long time resident of Walla Walla, always seeing and speaking to someone she knew, while out on her daily errands. She made everlasting friendships while proudly working at the JC Penney store and then later working at Macy’s from which she retired.


She is survived by her longtime companion, Dennis Rossebo; daughter, Tammy (Ben) Gregersen; son, Dan O’Neill; granchildren, Pamela (Aaron), Adam,  Annalise (Matt), Constance (Cody), Keturah (Russell); great-granchildren, Calvin, Maeva, Nora, Cade; sister, Norma (Vern) Shaver; nephews, Curt, Brian; nieces, Chris, Lori; many grand nieces and nephews and cousins.


She is preceded in death by her parents; sister, Delores; brother, Larry; and great-grandson, Gannone.


Celebration of life will be held on May 17, 2019, at 1 p.m., at the Walla Walla Presbyterian Church, 325 S. 1st Avenue with Pastor Albert Gillin officiating.


Her family would like to extend their gratitude to all that loved and supported her over the years that she resided in Walla Walla.


In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Gerry’s name to the Walla Walla Presbyterian Church Choir program.

Not sure what to say?

Gerry was my friend. She was a part of our family. We enjoyed listening to music, singing, and sharing "bragging rights" of family. Missing her is easy, saying good bye is not . Rest in peace until we meet again.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. Gerry will be missed by many.

I am so heartbroken by the loss of my dear friend Gerry, who was more than just a friend to me...she was family - she touched the lives of so many people with her kind and loving soul...I know she is up there singing with the angels in Heaven...I will miss her so much...Harmony and Hugs.
