Geraldine M. LaMere, 94, of Westwood, NJ, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, May 23, 2020 surrounded by her family. Geraldine (Gerry) was born in Jersey City, NJ to the late Jacob Alfred and Gertrude Eggers. She was the loving wife to Clifford for 49 years who pre-deceased her in 1995.
After raising her two children, Gerry entered the business world and worked for The Otis Elevator Company in Montvale, N.J. for many years.
Known for her amazing memory for birthdays, names, family history and just about everything else, it was unwise to challenge her. She was our own personal Ancestry .Com. She enjoyed seeing her friends at the Park Ridge Golden Age Social Club playing Bingo and socializing. She enjoyed playing games which included Mahjong and just about anything with words. She was fastidious about her appearance and a smart dresser. She loved that she was often mistaken for a person much younger than she was. But the true love of her life was her family which includes six grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren. Always present at family gatherings, she was usually the first to arrive and the last to leave.
Gerry is survived by her son Glenn and his wife Tina of Park Ridge and her daughter Cheryl LaMere Kraynak and husband George of Westwood, her Grandchildren; Cristin and partner Amy, Douglas and wife Cortnie, David and fiance' Christina, Caroline and husband Matt, Janelle and husband Sean and Jaclyn and husband Eugene and her Great Grandchildren; Charlotte, Brynn, Dylan, Emma, Matthew, Caitlin, Jack, Sydney, Sawyer, Alex, Joseph, Remi and James. Gerry is pre-deceased by her brother Alfred and sister Gloria.
A graveside service was held at George Washington Memorial Park in Paramus on Tuesday, May 26, 2020.
