Geraldine Cramblit Obituary
Jerry was born in Davenport, Iowa to June and Ward Williamson on March 11, 1928.
She received a Bachelor of Science degree from Iowa State University where she was a proud member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority class of 1950. She loved her job as a teacher for hospitalized children at Johns Hopkins and UCLA Medical Centers prior to her marriage.
Jerry met Lue Cramblit in Los Angeles and they were married for 61 years until Lue's passing in 2017. She gave birth to daughters Ann Olson (deceased) and Amy Magnuson (Rick) and raised her family in Pasadena. Upon Lue's retirement, Jerry and Lue moved to Montecito. Jerry's life was devoted to her family and philanthropy.
She is survived by her daughter, Amy, 6 grandchildren: Brad Olson, Brooke Olson, Charles Magnuson, Molly Woodward (Matt), Max Magnuson (Emily), and Natalie Magnuson, 4 great-grandchildren (Chloe Woodward, Grace Woodward, Mia Magnuson and Theo Magnuson) and her brother, Bruce Williamson (Judy).
