variety of birds and various critters she so lovingly fed. She enjoyed playing cards, board games and watching game shows
on TV. She was a very quick witted and light-hearted woman who enjoyed humorous
movies and jokes. Geraldine always put others needs ahead of her own. She was loving and dedicated to her
husband and family. Times were tough while she raised her family, however, Geraldine had the ability to make the most of what she had.
She possessed the ability to teach her children balance between work and just
being kids.
Left
