Geraldine was born on December 30 th , 1938 and grew up with her 19 brothers and sisters in Corner Brook. She entered the convent right out of high school where she spent 13 happy years.  She eventually left the convent due to illness returning home to her parents' where she lived until she met, and married the love of her life, David. They had many happy years together; the nature of David's work allowing them to travel the world, collecting many happy memories that would last them a lifetime together.  She was an active and very devout follower of the Roman Catholic Faith.
