Born on January 4, 1928 in Danville, IL, she moved to West Lafayette at age 5 and was a lifelong resident of the Lafayette area. She graduated from Jefferson High School in 1946.
Geraldine held many jobs throughout her life; however, the career that gave her the most joy was her 24 years at Home Hospital working as a nursing assistant in the newborn nursery where she rocked and cared for generations of Tippecanoe County babies. Once she retired, she spent countless hours caring for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and was a beloved “Granny, Grandma and Grapesie.”
Geraldine was a hardworking single mom for most of her life, but was most proud of the successes of her children and grandchildren.
She is survived by two children; three grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren. Geraldine is preceded in death by a daughter, Rebecca Schick; and daughter-in-law, Sue Madden.
