Geraldine was part of the U3A craft group since inception. Not only did we admire her dedication to cross stitch projects but she was great company with stories from the past. We will miss her effervescent outgoing personality. We are fortunate to have known her. All the best to family.

I nursed with Geraldine from 1976 for at least 15 years and our time on night duty were amongst the best times of my life. Her sense of humor and larger than life personality spoke volumes. Our continued friendship over the years has been amazing and her generosity and kindness will never be forgotten.
The love for her family topped her list in priority and I loved her very much.
Lots of love to her family and know they will have stories to tell about her for many years to come.

Geraldine ... a wonderful lady, so strong, a source
of knowledge, words of wisdom, and an amazing
sense of humour. Cook supreme and the ham glaze passed on to so many!!
Sleep well Granma Gerry, you are so loved and
remembered by many.
