Geraldine Carol (Govoni) "Geri" Stepule

I was very sorry to read of Geri's passing in the Rivereast on Friday. My contact with her was professional, as the mother of three patients. She was delightful, upbeat, friendly, with a great sense of humor. My thoughts are with you. A donation will be made to the American Cancer Society. With very warm regards, Jean Mamonas (formerly Szafran).

My heart is broken....a beautiful women inside and out. Geris home was filled with her special touches. She beamed about Bills talent to make or fix anything . Her face lit up with stories of the grandchildren! Family was everything to her. I was lucky enough to bring Geri and Bill to her dream home and quickly went from Realtor to Friend. Our time together was not long enough. My condolences to the Stepule family. Your angel has gone to heaven.

Oh so sad! So many years have past since I have seen her. However, I remember my cousin generating warmth, beauty and grace. My deep condolences.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your dear sister.

Our deepest sympathy for our friend and her family

I will miss your smile; I will miss your humor; I will miss your kindness and friendship; I will miss your love. Most of all I will miss you.

Bob and I knew Gerri and Bill for a little over 2 years. We live next door. Gerri was a very lively gracious lady, who was always concerned about my family. Geri wore a big smile even when she was not feeling well. She liked to talk about her grand children and how proud she was of them. I have gone out to lunch and dinner with Geri, she was full of fun and enjoyed life. We will miss her smile.

Although I know you are not suffering any longer I miss you more than any words can say. You were not only my sister but my special friend whose thoughts and many ways were a copy of mine. No one will or can ever take your place. My heart breaks but I know you are in a better place.

The world has lost a remarkable lady. I will always remember her warm smile and infectious laugh. Growing up, I would love to watch her make cakes and loved eating her egg salad sandwiches. My prayers go out to our entire family. She will be missed, but never forgotten.

You were not just my mother, but my best friend... my #1 fan, my personal shopper, my voice of reason...a barometer for everything that I did. You were a beautiful person inside and out and I love you more than you will ever know. ❤ I dont know what I will do without you...

Dear Bill and family,
We are so sorry to learn of Geri;s passing. She was such a gracious and generous lady, who so appreciated life, family and friends. Our prayers are with you .

I am sorry for your loss, Shari, and may you be surrounded by loving family and friends at this time. It sounds like your mother gifted you with your kind and creative soul. She will surely be missed.

Mark, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We didnt know her well, but she knew how much she was loved and will be missed. Love the Smiths

I will never forget her kindness. She gave me some amazing cloths that I wore for years, at a time went money was not plentiful! Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family as you celebrate her life. Colorado Gallants

Rest In Peace

Gammi.

Throughout my life you have meant so much to me. From the moment I was born you were always there; even a blizzard wouldnt stop you. You have always been my biggest supporter and showed me how to care and spread joy to others. Although the past few years have been a fight, you never gave up. I hope to have a tenth of that fighting spirit in me. There are not enough words to describe the impact you have had on my life. I love you to the moon and back and will always remember you for the caring and loving person you were. Although there were times where we butted heads you were always there to pick my spirits up. I love you so much Gammi and I hope you are resting peacefully in heaven. Please say hi to Nana for me.

P.S. I will never stop smiling when I think of the chocolate bunny and snowball episode. To this day, it remains one of my most vivid memories and will be one of my most cherished for as long as I live. You were an amazing wife, an amazing mother and most of all an amazing grandmother. I would not be where I am today if it wasnt for you. I love you.

Geri , friend that always made me laugh . We had fun taking turns going shopping , out for lunch after talking , laughing for hours . Geri enjoyed talking about her family stories and a lot about her grandchildren. Strong person full of life , beautiful Lady , very positive and a great neighbor and wonderful friend . Miss you always in my heart I am sure I will see you again . Love you

While only having just met Gammi last Thanksgiving in 2017, I could tell that she was such a wonderful and caring person. So welcoming as I came in to her home as a stranger and was welcomed with open arms like family. While she will be severely missed by her loved ones, I know they will be strong and think fondly of her as they move forward, with funny stories and happy memories. Wishing them all the best in this difficult time.
