Geri was such a sweet lady who loved Jesus and her family. She was a cherished member in the life of First Presbyterian Church for many years, enhancing Circle 8 by her presence for much of that time. I am thankful to have known both Geri and Ruben and was blessed through them.
My prayers are with all her beloved family! May God minister His love and comfort to each of you.
In Jesus’ Love,

Geri was a delightful Christian woman whose compassion and humor set her apart from most people I have known. As one of their pastors, I enjoyed visiting Ruben & her immensely, and always gained far more from our conversations than I ever imparted. How fitting that Geri was escorted to Heaven 5 years later short of 5 days from the husband she loved so much. May the Lord’s gracious comfort abide with Janet, Allan, Mary Carolyn, and all the family!

I worked with Geri at Richland County Health Dept. She was a true professional nurse, and a wonderful person. She had a strong work ethic and a great sense of humor. I learned a lot from her. She will be missed.
