She cherished family, especially her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. They were the light of her life and brought her immense joy. Geri had a deep love for animals.

My deepest condolences to everybody that knew and loved her. I admired so many things about her. She persevered through times that were not always easy for her. She had wonderful children that always stepped up to be there for her. She was like a grandma to my kids growing up, and personally I always looked forward to her coming to many events at Doris and Barry's. We used to crack up together. I tried my hardest to make sure I was sitting next to her at the dinner table. She was a highlight to so many, and will be truly missed. May her memory be for a blessing

Geri was a sweet spirit that I will miss. No matter how much time passed between physical encounters, it always warmed my heart to see the big smile that would light her face when she saw me and I can still feel her warm embrace.

I met and enjoyed my special friendship with Geri who I met at the Niles Pool prior to Covid. We talked, laughed, lunched, shared stories of our kids and grandkids. She loved life. Her smile and greeting lit up the room. I cherish the time we spent together. May all the wonderful memories her family and friends have be a source of comfort to all.
