Gerry will always be remember for the days we shared in high school and our trips with some of our school friends later. Gerry was always fun to be with and added to every gathering. I will miss her fondly. Condolences to her loving family. Keep your memories near. I share your loss.

Geraldine“s oldest daughter, Lori, has been my dear friend since college. Among our friend group Geraldine was a legend, and we heard many stories about how she dealt gracefully with her 5 daughters. I had the pleasure of meeting her, and could easily see why the family adored her for her strength, wisdom and kindness. Sending sincere condolences to all of you as you mourn your indomitable matriarch.
