Geraldine Hamblin Bangerter, 97, valiantly and joyfully completed her earthly labors on Mother's Day, May 9, 2021 at her home in Alpine, UT. She had "Welcomed the Task" since the day she began her life on March 3, 1924, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Geraldine was the second of four children born to Henry Marcene Hamblin and Duella Eyre. The family's circumstances were humble, but it was a home richly endowed with musical talents and a heritage of happy industry. They were bound together with love and fierce loyalty. Geraldine entered the mortal stage with an arsenal of useful gifts: determination, a love of fun, a love of learning, a fiery disposition (spunkiness), an early recognition of God and restored truth, and an ability to love all the people who came into her circle. As she aged, her gifts grew within her until her person defined unselfish love. A tomboy at heart, and always up for fun and social activity, Geraldine enjoyed softball, golf, skiing, bowling, camping, fishing in her beloved Uintah Mountains, and riding horses in the mountains above Alpine. By far, her most finely tuned hobby and skill was, unashamedly, getting children to work.
Little Geraldine attended Arlington Elementary School in Murray, learning to play the trumpet in the second grade. She mastered this cherished instrument in the marching band while attending Murray High School and later while attending the University of Utah. Soon after high school graduation in 1943, "Geri" joined the United States Cadet Nurse Corps with a desire to aid the nation's World War II efforts. Recognizing an opportunity to advance her education, she began her training at the St. Mark's Hospital School of Nursing. After receiving her nursing diploma in 1946, Geri moved to Rawlins, Wyoming, to assist her brother, Dale, in a "spudnut" venture, so popular at the time. In Rawlins, Geri worked as a registered nurse in the emergency room, and also in surgery and obstetrics. These were invigorating times with "never a dull moment" in that cowboy town. In addition, Geraldine took the position of school nurse for the county school district (1949-1953). There she developed the philosophy that each child had a specific genius and learned the phrase so oft repeated as a gentle reminder: "Children are people too."
During 1949-1951, Geraldine enrolled again at the University of Utah, commuting back and forth between Salt Lake and Rawlins and in August 1951 obtained her bachelor's degree in nursing, fulfilling a promise she had made to herself years earlier. Geri switched gears in 1953 and began teaching at the St. Mark's School of Nursing. She applied to Columbia University Teacher's College in New York City, with her sights on earning a master's degree in public health administration. These plans were intercepted when she met a handsome widower, William Grant Bangerter, a young bishop from Granger, Utah (Mildred Lee Schwantes, 1918-1952). Grant and Geraldine and his three precious children (LeeAnn, Cory William, and Glenda) decided to make it a five-some, and the couple was sealed on October 14, 1953 in the Salt Lake Temple. Geraldine became an instant success as wife and mother of three.
From an early age Geraldine recognized and cherished the gospel truths as taught in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her desire to serve in the kingdom was strong and evident. As a young teenager she began a lengthy service as the leader over the Junior Sunday School in the Millcreek Ward. In Wyoming she served as a stake missionary, a Sunday School teacher and a counselor in the MIA. Upon her marriage to "Bishop Bangerter," she was called as the stake speech director and also began a new chapter of serving by her husband's side as he fulfilled callings as bishop, president of the North Jordan and Granger Stakes, and then in 1958-1963, as President of the Brazilian Mission. There, Geri was called to preside over all the Relief Societies in the mission and though just beginning to learn Portuguese, she entered into this task with her innate zeal, delighting in the Brazilian sisters she taught and nurtured. As Mission Mother and nurse, Geraldine took up the challenge of seeing to the missionaries' health, pioneering standard treatments and protocols to prevent serious illnesses. Her efforts became the nucleus for a missionary health manual later adapted for world-wide missionary use. Grant and Geri claimed their missionary sons and daughters as their own, often saying to them "You belong to us now!"
Church service did not prevent Geraldine from bearing and rearing children. Upon arrival in Brazil, Grant and Geri had six children, three having been added since their marriage five years previously: Julie, Grant Hamblin, and Howard Kent. Upon their departure from Brazil five years later, the family had grown by three: Peggy Brasilia, Glenn Paulo, and Layne Rio. With the inevitable ups and downs of raising a family in the chaos of mission life, Grant and Geri adopted a motto they determined to live by the rest of their lives: "ENJOY IT!"
After Brazil, returning to Granger, Geraldine began serving as a cub scout leader, propelling her into years of dedicated scouting service on three continents, eventually earning the Silver Beaver award. In addition to her church work, Geraldine threw her energies into selling a popular line of home fashions, LeVoys, which met with tremendous success. In 1965 her last child was born, a daughter, Duella, completing the family with five sons and five daughters. These were masterful mothering years. A sweet mixture of deeply imprinted snapshots: mother with her giant mop, mother canning hundreds of bottles of fruit, mother taking care of details on the long cord phone, mother making Spudnuts for Halloween, and mother, demonstrating uncommon tenderness with each of her children.
After the family moved to Alpine in 1970, Geraldine taught the Sunday School gospel doctrine course and continued her efforts helping boys become Eagle Scouts, each boy believing he was her favorite. Alpine living was interrupted when Grant was called as Mission President to open the Portugal Mission in 1974. The pair was just getting started! They crisscrossed the globe where Grant's assignments in the First Quorum of the Seventy bade them and Geri delighted in discovering new friends in every country they visited. In 1977 they returned to Brazil to preside over that area and help complete the construction of the Sao Paulo Temple. Later they lived and served in Chile. A crowning delight for Geri was serving as matron of the Jordan River Temple when Grant was serving as President (1990-93) and then serving as secretary in the sealing office of the Mount Timpanogos Temple where Grant was a sealer and coordinator. (1996-2003) In and around and through her days, Geraldine filled her cup to overflowing with love for her ancestors and rich pioneer heritage. Researching and writing their histories was her dedicated passion.
In Geraldine's eyes, every day provided a miracle with some blessing to savor. "Aren't we blessed?" she would ask. Her favorite quote revealed a vital secret to filling her miracle bucket: "Welcome the task that makes you go beyond yourself, and you will grow!"
Geraldine was preceded in death by her husband, William Grant Bangerter; her parents, brothers Ivan and Dale Hamblin; daughter-in-law, JaLayne Garlick Bangerter; and granddaughter Katie Bangerter.
Geraldine is survived by her ten children: LeeAnn Lorenzon (Richard) of Alpine, UT; Cory William (Gayle Bishop) of Alpine, UT; Glenda Apple (Steven) of Lindon, UT; Julie Beck (Ramon) of Alpine, UT; Grant Hamblin (Cleadonna Webb) of Lehi, UT; Howard Kent (Lissa Harrison) of Highland, UT; Peggy Brasilia Porter (Douglas) of Thatcher, ID; Glenn Paulo (JaLayne Garlick) of American Fork, UT; Layne Rio (Elizabeth "Betsy" Cryer) of Melba, ID; Duella Williams (Lonnie) of Syracuse, UT; 64 of her 65 grandchildren, 178 great grandchildren; two great-great grandchildren; sister Darlene H. Anderson and sisters-in-law Marian B. Lindsay and Naomi B. Christofferson. Also embraced by Grant and Geri and recognized as members of their family are Wilson and Sonia Wosnjuk Duffles, of Anchorage, AK; David and Ana Wosnjuk Baldwin, of Alpine, UT; and Tony and Matilde Wosnjuk, of Eagle Mountain, UT; and their children.
The Bangerter Family offers our sincere gratitude for the loving, tender care of the nurses and aides who have dedicated their time and love to our Mother, sharing these precious final years with her. You are special angels: hers and ours. "Hey Sis, I love you."

Alpine,UT—Geraldine Hamblin Bangerter, 97, passed away peacefully of natural causes at her home in the early hours of Mother's Day, May 9, 2021, in Alpine, UT. Born March 3, 1924, in Salt Lake City, UT, to Henry Marcene and Duella Eyre Hamblin, she possessed great faith and loyalty to the restored gospel in The Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints. Raised in Murray, UT, Geraldine (Geri) graduated from Murray H.S. in 1942 and excelled academically, in athletics, and as a trumpet player. She served in the U.S. Nurses Cadet Corps during WWII, graduated from St. Mark's Hospital School of Nursing in 1946, and earned a BS degree from the University of Utah in 1951.

On October 14, 1953, she married Wm. Grant Bangerter, a widower with three small children, in the Salt Lake Temple. They lived in Granger, UT, where she served as stake speech director and supported her husband as bishop and then president of the North Jordan and Granger Stakes. In 1958 they moved to Brazil with six children to preside over the Brazilian Mission. With the challenges of mission life in a new country, Grant and Geri adopted the motto "Enjoy It!" Geri presided over the Relief Societies in the mission and was a natural missionary. Her unique ability to organize and work selflessly with energy and intelligence drew people and responsibility to her. As mission mother and nurse, she pioneered health treatments to prevent serious illness. Her work was later adapted into a missionary health manual worldwide. By the time they left Brazil in 1963 they had added three more children to their family. Soon after returning to Granger they welcomed the birth of their tenth child, and six years later they moved to the family farm in Alpine.

They also worked for two years in Chile. Geri learned Portuguese and Spanish and cherished the over 600 missionaries that served with her.
After Grant's release, Geri served as Matron of the Jordan River Temple (1990-1993) and later was secretary in the sealing office of the Mt. Timpanogos Temple (1996-2003). Her years of church service included: Jr. Sunday School leader, stake missionary, MIA counselor, gospel doctrine teacher, Relief Society teacher, and Cub Scout and Boy Scout leader. The BSA recognized her impactful scout leadership with the Silver Beaver award.
Geri enjoyed horseback riding, softball, skiing, golfing, bowling, camping, fishing, and singing in harmony. She wrote and compiled many family histories and had a deep love for her pioneer heritage. Her mother's heart was shown through her close love for and joy in each of her 65 grandchildren and their families.
Geri was preceded in death by her husband; parents; brothers, Ivan M. Hamblin and H. Dale Hamblin; granddaughter, Katie Bangerter; and daughter-in-law, JaLayne Garlick Bangerter.

Geraldine Hamblin Bangerter, 97, valiantly and joyfully completed her earthly labors on Mother's Day, May 9, 2021 at her home in Alpine, UT.

Alpine living was interrupted when Grant was called as Mission President to open the Portugal Mission in 1974. The pair was just getting started! They crisscrossed the globe where Grant's assignments in the First Quorum of the Seventy bade them and Geri delighted in discovering new friends in every country they visited. In 1977 they returned to Brazil to preside over that area and help complete the construction of the Sao Paulo Temple. Later they lived and served in Chile. A crowning delight for Geri was serving as matron of the Jordan River Temple when Grant was serving as President (1990-93) and then serving as secretary in the sealing office of the Mount Timpanogos Temple where Grant was a sealer and coordinator. (1996-2003) In and around and through her days, Geraldine filled her cup to overflowing with love for her ancestors and rich pioneer heritage. Researching and writing their histories was her dedicated passion.
In Geraldine's eyes, every day provided a miracle with some blessing to savor. "Aren't we blessed?" she would ask. Her favorite quote revealed a vital secret to filling her miracle bucket: "Welcome the task that makes you go beyond yourself, and you will grow!"
Geraldine was preceded in death by her husband, William Grant Bangerter; her parents, brothers Ivan and Dale Hamblin; daughter-in-law, JaLayne Garlick Bangerter; and granddaughter Katie Bangerter.
Geraldine is survived by her ten children: LeeAnn Lorenzon (Richard) of Alpine, UT; Cory William (Gayle Bishop) of Alpine, UT; Glenda Apple (Steven) of Lindon, UT; Julie Beck (Ramon) of Alpine, UT; Grant Hamblin (Cleadonna Webb) of Lehi, UT; Howard Kent (Lissa Harrison) of Highland, UT; Peggy Brasilia Porter (Douglas) of Thatcher, ID; Glenn Paulo (JaLayne Garlick) of American Fork, UT; Layne Rio (Elizabeth "Betsy" Cryer) of Melba, ID; Duella Williams (Lonnie) of Syracuse, UT; 64 of her 65 grandchildren, 178 great grandchildren; two great-great grandchildren; sister Darlene H. Anderson and sisters-in-law Marian B. Lindsay and Naomi B. Christofferson. Also embraced by Grant and Geri and recognized as members of their family are Wilson and Sonia Wosnjuk Duffles, of Anchorage, AK; David and Ana Wosnjuk Baldwin, of Alpine, UT; and Tony and Matilde Wosnjuk, of Eagle Mountain, UT; and their children.

Alpine,UT—Geraldine Hamblin Bangerter, 97, passed away peacefully of natural causes at her home in the early hours of Mother's Day, May 9, 2021, in Alpine, UT. Born March 3, 1924, in Salt Lake City, UT, to Henry Marcene and Duella Eyre Hamblin, she possessed great faith and loyalty to the restored gospel in The Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints. Raised in Murray, UT, Geraldine (Geri) graduated from Murray H.S. in 1942 and excelled academically, in athletics, and as a trumpet player. She served in the U.S. Nurses Cadet Corps during WWII, graduated from St. Mark's Hospital School of Nursing in 1946, and earned a BS degree from the University of Utah in 1951. For four years Geri worked as a registered nurse in Rawlins, WY, and co-owned a spudnut shop with her brother Dale.
On October 14, 1953, she married Wm. Grant Bangerter, a widower with three small children, in the Salt Lake Temple. They lived in Granger, UT, where she served as stake speech director and supported her husband as bishop and then president of the North Jordan and Granger Stakes. In 1958 they moved to Brazil with six children to preside over the Brazilian Mission. With the challenges of mission life in a new country, Grant and Geri adopted the motto "Enjoy It!" Geri presided over the Relief Societies in the mission and was a natural missionary. Her unique ability to organize and work selflessly with energy and intelligence drew people and responsibility to her. As mission mother and nurse, she pioneered health treatments to prevent serious illness. Her work was later adapted into a missionary health manual worldwide. By the time they left Brazil in 1963 they had added three more children to their family. Soon after returning to Granger they welcomed the birth of their tenth child, and six years later they moved to the family farm in Alpine.
In 1974 Geri and Grant with their children were called to open the Portugal Lisbon Mission. That next year Grant was called as an Assistant to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and later into the First Quorum of the Seventy. Over the next 14 years they travelled extensively to fulfill those responsibilities, living in Brazil again from 1977 to 1979 and presiding over the completion of the São Paulo Brazil Temple. They also worked for two years in Chile. Geri learned Portuguese and Spanish and cherished the over 600 missionaries that served with her.
After Grant's release, Geri served as Matron of the Jordan River Temple (1990-1993) and later was secretary in the sealing office of the Mt. Timpanogos Temple (1996-2003). Her years of church service included: Jr. Sunday School leader, stake missionary, MIA counselor, gospel doctrine teacher, Relief Society teacher, and Cub Scout and Boy Scout leader. The BSA recognized her impactful scout leadership with the Silver Beaver award.
Geri enjoyed horseback riding, softball, skiing, golfing, bowling, camping, fishing, and singing in harmony. She wrote and compiled many family histories and had a deep love for her pioneer heritage. Her mother's heart was shown through her close love for and joy in each of her 65 grandchildren and their families.
Geri was preceded in death by her husband; parents; brothers, Ivan M. Hamblin and H. Dale Hamblin; granddaughter, Katie Bangerter; and daughter-in-law, JaLayne Garlick Bangerter.
She is survived by her 10 children: Lee Ann Lorenzon (Richard A.) Alpine, UT; Cory William (Gayle Bishop) Alpine, UT; Glenda Apple (Steven C.) Lindon, UT; Julie Beck (Ramon P.) Alpine, UT; Grant Hamblin (Cleadonna Webb) Lehi, UT; Howard Kent (Lissa Harrison), Highland, UT; Peggy Brasilia Porter (Douglas L.) Thatcher, ID; Glenn Paulo (JaLayne Garlick) American Fork, UT; Layne Rio (Elizabeth "Betsy" Cryer) Melba, ID; Duella Williams (Lonnie D.)

(Noel) Anderson, of Murray, UT; and her sisters-in-law; Marian B. (Richard) Lindsey, West Jordan, UT; Naomi B. (Leonard) Christoffersen, Sandy, UT; Judy Schiffman (Norman) Bangerter, So. Jordan, UT.

Little Geraldine attended Arlington Elementary School in Murray, learning to play the trumpet in the second grade. She mastered this cherished instrument in the marching band while attending Murray High School and later while attending the University of Utah. Soon after high school graduation in 1943, "Geri" joined the United States Cadet Nurse Corps with a desire to aid the nation's World War II efforts. Recognizing an opportunity to advance her education, she began her training at the St. Mark's Hospital School of Nursing. After receiving her nursing diploma in 1946, Geri moved to Rawlins, Wyoming, to assist her brother, Dale, in a "spudnut" venture, so popular at the time. In Rawlins, Geri worked as a registered nurse in the emergency room, and also in surgery and obstetrics. These were invigorating times with "never a dull moment" in that cowboy town. In addition, Geraldine took the position of school nurse for the county school district (1949-1953). There she developed the philosophy that each child had a specific genius and learned the phrase so oft repeated as a gentle reminder: "Children are people too."
During 1949-1951, Geraldine enrolled again at the University of Utah, commuting back and forth between Salt Lake and Rawlins and in August 1951 obtained her bachelor's degree in nursing, fulfilling a promise she had made to herself years earlier. Geri switched gears in 1953 and began teaching at the St. Mark's School of Nursing. She applied to Columbia University Teacher's College in New York City, with her sights on earning a master's degree in public health administration. These plans were intercepted when she met a handsome widower, William Grant Bangerter, a young bishop from Granger, Utah (Mildred Lee Schwantes, 1918-1952). Grant and Geraldine and his three precious children (LeeAnn, Cory William, and Glenda) decided to make it a five-some, and the couple was sealed on October 14, 1953 in the Salt Lake Temple. Geraldine became an instant success as wife and mother of three.
From an early age Geraldine recognized and cherished the gospel truths as taught in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her desire to serve in the kingdom was strong and evident. As a young teenager she began a lengthy service as the leader over the Junior Sunday School in the Millcreek Ward. In Wyoming she served as a stake missionary, a Sunday School teacher and a counselor in the MIA. Upon her marriage to "Bishop Bangerter," she was called as the stake speech director and also began a new chapter of serving by her husband's side as he fulfilled callings as bishop, president of the North Jordan and Granger Stakes, and then in 1958-1963, as President of the Brazilian Mission. There, Geri was called to preside over all the Relief Societies in the mission and though just beginning to learn Portuguese, she entered into this task with her innate zeal, delighting in the Brazilian sisters she taught and nurtured. As Mission Mother and nurse, Geraldine took up the challenge of seeing to the missionaries' health, pioneering standard treatments and protocols to prevent serious illnesses. Her efforts became the nucleus for a missionary health manual later adapted for world-wide missionary use. Grant and Geri claimed their missionary sons and daughters as their own, often saying to them "You belong to us now!"
Church service did not prevent Geraldine from bearing and rearing children. Upon arrival in Brazil, Grant and Geri had six children, three having been added since their marriage five years previously: Julie, Grant Hamblin, and Howard Kent. Upon their departure from Brazil five years later, the family had grown by three: Peggy Brasilia, Glenn Paulo, and Layne Rio. With the inevitable ups and downs of raising a family in the chaos of mission life, Grant and Geri adopted a motto they determined to live by the rest of their lives: "ENJOY IT!"
After Brazil, returning to Granger, Geraldine began serving as a cub scout leader, propelling her into years of dedicated scouting service on three continents, eventually earning the Silver Beaver award. In addition to her church work, Geraldine threw her energies into selling a popular line of home fashions, LeVoys, which met with tremendous success. In 1965 her last child was born, a daughter, Duella, completing the family with five sons and five daughters. These were masterful mothering years. A sweet mixture of deeply imprinted snapshots: mother with her giant mop, mother canning hundreds of bottles of fruit, mother taking care of details on the long cord phone, mother making Spudnuts for Halloween, and mother, demonstrating uncommon tenderness with each of her children.
After the family moved to Alpine in 1970, Geraldine taught the Sunday School gospel doctrine course and continued her efforts helping boys become Eagle Scouts, each boy believing he was her favorite. Alpine living was interrupted when Grant was called as Mission President to open the Portugal Mission in 1974. The pair was just getting started!

Geraldine was preceded in death by her husband, William Grant Bangerter; her parents, brothers Ivan and Dale Hamblin; daughter-in-law, JaLayne Garlick Bangerter; and granddaughter Katie Bangerter.
