Geraldine worked at FM Howell in Elmira, New York for many years before moving to Florida with her husband Paul. They enjoyed many years enjoying the beach, traveling and spent many nights dancing the nights away.
Geraldine was a kind and compassionate soul but her true gift in life was her passion to care for everyone. Her life was making sure everyone was cared for. She cared for Paul and Marjorie and many other elderly and sick people for many years. Her unconditional love and caring that she extended to her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will live in our hearts forever.
The family would like to thank Dr. Alfonzo McCollum for his many years of care and Halifax Hospice Care for their loving care and kindness.
