Gerri continued to live in Pennsylvania for many years until she married and became the blessed mother of her 5 children. Throughout her life, Gerri loved baseball and was an avid Philadelphia Phillies fan and enjoyed watching the Mummers Parade. Gerri loved to play the guitar and dance to the great music of the oldies. She had a unique style of pure love towards all mankind and was known to be one "tough cookie". Geraldine was devout to her religion and displayed kindness to whomever she met in her lifetime. Gerri was a waitress for many years until she retired and continued to reside in Colonial Park Manor in Woodbury, New Jersey. Gerri had many friends within the manor and was known to light up the room with her very presence and enjoyed the company of her best friends; Jane Helmes and Vivian Foster, who were known to be very special to her. Tending Gerri's needs until passing were her devoted family; Quay, Brian, Patti and Larry.
