Geraldine A. Klein

Born to Eternal Life on Wednesday, December 31st, 2025 at the age of 82.

Beloved wife of the late Rudolph "Rudy" Klein. Loving mother of Marie Ann Klein and John (Katie) Klein, and grandma of Clara Rose, Luke John and Lydia Grace. Dear sister of the late Carol (the late Walter) Wheeler, the late Nancy Yeck, the late Doris (the late Frank) Majersky, Sandy (Walter) Powell and John Barth. Further survived by nieces, nephews, in-laws, other relatives and friends.

Geraldine enjoyed needlepoint in her free time. She was very kind to everyone she met, and was a caretaker for all of her nieces and nephews at one point in their lives. It is hard not to feel blessed by having the opportunity to be this woman's son. She had nothing of financial value to offer anyone but she would offer anyone the shirt off her back if they needed it because her heart was as big as the eye could see. She could not read but she loved me and my family as much as they can be loved. Most people who came across her knew she was trying to be your friend because that is who she was. She married my father who also could not read but they raised two children and loved us as much as anyone can be loved. She was a mom, a grandmother, a sister, a daughter, an aunt to many, and a friend to anyone who gave her a second to understand what an amazing blessing she was. Mom thank you for more than I could ever acknowledge. You have blessed this world and I and many will forever miss you. I will never be able to write enough to do you justice but let me just end with I am humbled to call myself your son. Rest in peace Mom you are truly as loved as loved can be.

Visitation will be held at the Bruskiewitz Funeral Home on Thursday, January 8th, 2026 at 3 PM, followed by a Funeral Service at 4 PM. Private interment.

In lieu of flowers, if desired, memorials to the family are appreciated.

Gerry-Berry was a delight to have known. I met her at Lake Country Nursing when I would bring Communion to the Catholic residents. She never had a complaint, only joy and friendship. What a dear sweet woman I was privileged to visit. May her soul rest in peace.
