Geraldine was a very sweet, generous woman with a big heart; full of love for her friends, family and everyone who crossed her path.  She was always smiling big despite the pain she endured.  Geraldine showed only strength and happiness.  Her energy drew people to her and her happy heart kept them close.  Geraldine loved to listen to music, watch Gunsmoke, Bewitched and the Rifleman with her daughters and grandchildren.  She enjoyed getting dressed up for a night of Bingo.  Her warmth and her contagious smile will be forever missed.
