Geri’s first employment was at GTE Sylvania in Waldoboro for several years. She later worked at Penobscot Bay Medical Center in Rockport, before beginning employment at Frank D.

After retiring Geri remained active in SAD 40 as a substitute teacher.  She also became an active member of the Warren Food Pantry, Wine Ladies Group and a yearly helper at Vacation Bible School at the Warren Baptist Church.  

Geri’s passion in life was to her family and friends.  She always supported her boys, and was a very devoted grandmother, helping to raise all six of her grandchildren.  Geri was always their biggest cheerleader at school activities and functions.  We love you ‘The General’, till we meet again.
