Geraldine "Geri" Marie Greene Wills, age 56, of Dade City passed away peacefully Wednesday morning, August 27, 2025 at Gulfside Hospice, Zephyrhills, Florida. She was born July 13, 1969 in Conneaut, Ohio to the late Aubrey and Charlotte Campbell Greene.

Geri grew up in Conneaut Ohio, where she graduated from Conneaut High School in 1987. She then attended Edinboro University where she worked to put herself through College to earn a B.A. in Accounting in 1996.

Geri moved to Tampa, Florida in 1996 after graduating college. Shortly after getting settled in, she met her husband Kenneth (Ken) and his daughter, Nichole.

Geri joined the American Board of Pathology staff as an Accountant in October of 2005 where she enjoyed 20 years of employment. Over the years, Geri has had a very happy career working at ABPath where she says she has had the opportunity to work with wonderful people who treated her like family.
