Geraldine graduated from St Mary's High School in 1941 and moved to Jersey City, New Jersey, relocating to Maplewood, NJ and later, in 1963, to House Springs, MO. She was the consummate mother to her brood of seven children and their friends, always with a full cookie jar and a house full of fun and chores. Geraldine was very active in the Ladies Sodality of St. Anthony's Catholic Church in High Ridge, MO and quilted there on a weekly basis. She also served as the President of the local chapter of the Navy's Mothers Club of America. She is fondly remembered and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
