Geraldine “Geri” McKenna passed away peacefully on February 10, 2026, following a brief battle with bacterial and viral pneumonia due to Influenza A.
She is lovingly remembered by her husband of 54 years, Gary; her daughters, Jessica (Scott) and Jennifer; her five grandchildren, Matty (Tameka), Grady, Holly, Cameron, and Austin; her brothers, Bill and Stanley (Ang); and her sisters, Jo (Scott) and Fay. She was predeceased by her brother, Garry.
Geri was born on MacKenzie Island, Ontario, to Laura and Stanley Clark. Her family moved throughout Ontario and Quebec before eventually settling in Merritt. She worked at the Bank of Montreal for several years before dedicating herself to raising her family as a stay-at-home mom.
In her younger years, Geri enjoyed playing volleyball and slo-pitch and cherished time spent with family and friends.
In keeping with her wishes, no service will be held.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the nurses, doctors, and EMS personnel who cared for Geri at Merritt Hospital and in Kamloops.
