Geraldine worked for Elastimold/Amerace for 30 years in Quality Control where was recognized for many accomplishments including representing the organization on a national level. After retiring from there, she then enjoyed catering for many weddings, graduations, balloon fiestas, art events and anything else where people wanted the best food made on the planet. Geraldine was definitely known for her amazing cooking, which included cake decorating, and she incorporated her artistic talent with the presentation of her dishes. She then moved on to Interior Design, hired by the owner of Stonewood, after he saw her raw talent and artistic eye while she was a customer. Her work was placed in Su Casa magazine and won multiple awards in the Parade of Homes. She had an eye like no other when it came to making a home a home.

Her pride and joy were her grandkids. She adored them like nothing else in the world. She was also so proud of her girls and sons-in-law and all their accomplishments but mostly proud of them being loving, dedicated parents. Geraldine was very much loved and cherished by her husband, children, grandchildren, parents, brother, sisters, nieces, nephews, and friends.
