Geraldine Darcy

Geraldine Ann Hickie Darcy passed peacefully in her sleep on April 30, 2019, at Anne Arundel Medical Center, in Annapolis, Maryland. A native of Sydney, Australia, she moved to the United States in 1976. She is pre-deceased by her parents Mary Frances (nee O’Connell) Hickie, and Connell Francis Hickie, and a sister, Margaret Garden. She is survived by her husband of 43 years, Richard, her daughter Erin, and her son Conal, as well as her siblings in Australia, James, Peter, and Catherine Hickie. In addition to being a military wife and mother, she also worked at the Maryland House of Delegates and the Maryland Senate as a legislative assistant. She was an avid swimmer, enjoyed traveling, and raised adopted cats and kittens. She loved all things British and as a good friend once said, “Geraldine always spoke posh!” She was beloved by her family, friends, and colleagues and will be sorely missed. Her life will be celebrated at a Mass of the Christian Burial at 9 AM, Saturday, May 11, 2019 at Saint Mary’s Catholic Church, 109 Duke of Gloucester Street, Annapolis, MD.
