Geraldine Parker
Everyone knew what was most important to Geri; family came first. If she heard about someone in need she sprang into action; no one ever had to ask. She was strong in her faith; active at St. Casimir Church (especially with the Casey Club) and watched daily mass on EWTN. If her T.V was on she’d probably be watching the Hallmark Channel, but more recently she tended to watch her computer to tune into comedy shows from the past. She never forgot her Polish roots: especially in her cooking she made the best Galumpki’s and on New Year’s Day you found her making Grochem z Kapusta for good luck. She loved Christmas and always had a fun outfit to celebrate in. She country line danced all around the area (member of Tri-State Dancers) and spread the joy of dancing by teaching it for many years. And, of course, she loved a little country music especially Jim Mitchell and the Repeat Offenders.
She is survived by her children, Kimi Lei Parker McKeever (Michael) and Jerry Parker (Linda); and grandchildren, Sean, Gabrielle, Veronica and Samuel.
A memorial Mass will be celebrated September 14, at 11am.

She will be dearly missed. She was one of my favorite people and always made me smile. So grateful that I had the privilege of knowing her.
After fifty plus years of friendship I always admired her kindness to me and my family. Our talks and when we seen each other were precious. She will always be my dearest loving friend forever.

God Bless Her.
Grace, divinelygiven talent or blessing. Grace, simple elegance. Geri was Gods gift to us all who knew her. Geri is Grace. Grace can not be earned it is something freely given. Something Geri did everyday, a prayer, a GIF, a gift or an opinion. lol. I always had a hotline to Geri about prayer. Anyone in need I would say I have to tell Geri to put them on the list. It’s the first thing I think of when God is the answer. Tell Geri to put them on the list.
She loved to get reports on the status of the prayer. She would say God is good. She shared her faith freely. Today I am a better person knowing Geri.
It’s extremely difficult to imagine not hearing her voice again. I will continue to pray to her, love her and never forget her. She is Grace.
