She was a member of one of the early Prior Lake Quilting Clubs and her charities included Caring and Sharing hands, Women’s Alpha Center, and Families Moving Forward.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Frank; son, Patrick, and grandson, Peter Jr. Geraldine is survived by her sons and daughters, Marilyn Revak, Frank (Linda), Tony, Peter, Jim, Katy (Terry) Groves; daughter-in-law, Phyllis; 18 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren.

Because of my own health.issues, I’ve just discovered the death of Gerry. I spent many years in the water with her at Dakotah Health Club. She became very dear to me, not only because of quilting and reading interests, but because of her sense of humor and caring for others . She and my husband became pals too. We will miss her greatly. Blessings to all of her family . She shared much about the family she loved so deeply.

I’m so sorry for your loss, I know this is a hard time for the family. I would like to send my condolences. One thing that has always helped me through times like these, is the hope found in the Bible. The Bible gives a wonderful hope of seeing our loved ones again on a paradise earth! Revelation 21:3,4- And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
I hope this brings you as much comfort as it did for me.
