Since having grown up with her as a close neighbor to her and her family, I have always had a deep respect and appreciation for Geraldine. She always exemplified Christian values and actions. Because of her experience as a missionary, this gave us good “common ground†for discussions at the Lee/ Wright family reunions. She definitely helped advance the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ‼ï¸

I am so very sorry to hear of Geraldine's passing! I have wonderful memories of her, since as teenagers I was the Pianist and she was the Song Leader at the little rural Good Hope Baotist Church south of McCrory, AR. " Precious in the sight of the Lird is the death of His saints." May you, her family, be blessed with His Grace and Peace!
