Geraldine Shipley Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She is survived by her husband Thomas Shipley, daughters Bonnie Gartner and Lisa Isabel, sister Sue Hagerty, sister-in-law Bettie Jessee-Lettie, grandchildren Belinda Rogers, Christina Winkle, Bryan Epp, Lori Zaloga, Kelly Carrick, Ross Noll, and Michael Hyde, and twelve great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her siblings Billy Jessee, Betty Jo Popp, and Debbie Lewis, daughters Karen Epp and Paula Dixon, and granddaughter Ashley Hyde.
Jerry grew up during the Great Depression and during her teenage years, she dreamt of being a movie star or a singer. In 1952 her family moved to Maryland and shortly thereafter, a friend of Jerry's introduced her to the Love of her life, Thomas. The romance quickly bloomed and they married in 1954. Besides raising her four children, she loved being involved with her grandchildren, as they gave her great joy. She was an active member of Grace Brethren Church in Waldorf. She was always willing to help anyone in need and did not know anyone as a stranger. Her past hobbies included quilting, sewing, canning, gardening, and socializing.
