Gerry was a lifelong member of Mogadore Christian Church, 50+ year member of Eastern Star, Craftsman Boat Club and Kenmore Senior Citizens.

WWII found her at Akron General Tire making life belts and selling war bonds. During the 50’s she helped her husband Cary found Nelson Woodson Maintenance Service. She was a girl Friday in all office tasks and beyond. Geraldine occupied her time being a great wife, mom and neighbor to all who knew her. Cooking, crafting and gardening were all done in great love for us. Many have received her yearly Christmas Cookie Boxes to their delight.
