Geraldine SPARROW

SPARROW, Geraldine Geraldine (Jerrie) Bishop Sparrow, age 75, of Riverdale, GA died Sunday, April 19, 2015. She was born in Atlanta, GA to the late Roy and Dorothy Elizabeth Haynes Bishop. Jerrie was a member of Liberty Baptist Church, Riverdale, GA. She was a 1957 graduate of Fulton High School. From 1962 to 1974, she lived in many states across the country as a result of her husband's employment. Jerrie enjoyed watching her husband and grandchildren playing sports, school and church events. She enjoyed spoiling her grandchildren, letting them do pretty much anything they wanted including putting makeup on her. She was always up to date with the latest trends, and always surprised you with an obscure pop culture reference that we would have no idea how she knew about it. She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Mrs. Sparrow is survived by her husband of 55 years, Donald Sparrow, Riverdale, GA; children, Donna (John) Sparrow Fincher, McDonough, GA, and Gary (Donna) Sparrow, Conley, GA; sister, Beverly Bishop, Griffin, GA; grandchildren, Chris Dirgo, Emily Fincher, and Elizabeth Fincher; great-grandchildren, Hope Dirgo, Jack Dirgo and Jake Dirgo.
