During her earlier years of life, she developed a love for turkeys and started an antique turkey collection. She had over 300 turkeys in her collection and after that count she just stopped counting! A simple woman with exquisite taste is how her family would describe her. Geraldine was an avid cook, baker, gardener, reader, quilter, and most of all a teacher to all who were in her presence. Geraldine loved flowers, birds, wood, cats, and material. She had many titles, but her favorite was GMA. You will be missed Grandma.

Your love truly transformed this world and gave us all a heavy mantle to carry. But every day will carry it for you because you carried it for us! Love you always!
