I would like to express my deepest sympathy to my brother Don, to Geri’s family and her sister, Ginnie, and her family in the loss of a wife, mother, grandmother, and sister. Many years ago we flew out to BC to see Expo 86 with my husband, Lorne, and my three kids. Don and Geri treated us royally. We had a great time and saw so many places. It was the best trip we had.

Our dear friend Geri will be sadly missed. Geri, always full of fun and laughter. Everyone knew when Geri was around.
We have enjoyed many a glass of wine over the years. Wonderful Ukrainian Christmas Celebrations prepared by both Geri and Don. What fun. A life well lived. May you rest in peace Geri.

Our deepest condolences to Don and family! We met Don and Geri at Birch Bay and liked them immediately. Geri lit up the room with her smile! Treasure the wonderful legacy of memories she left you all with. My husband is quite ill so not sure we will be able to make the memorial but will definitely try. Healing hugs to all of you, you lost a great treasure.

I’m shocked and saddened to hear about Geri’s passing. My heartfelt condolences to Jill and the entire family. I got to know Geri through my work with Jill, and I remember her as a highly energetic and enthusiastic leader at the bank. We kept in touch frequently while working, and even after retirement, she made a point of reaching out from time to time. I have many great memories of Geri. She will be deeply missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Geri”s passing my condolences to the family. I have many fond memories of Geri at Jill and Steve’s, and running in to her at Birch Bay. Geri was my manager for several years at the bank - we had lots of laughs working together, rooming together at conferences, attending her very “early” breakfast’ meetings, and doing full day planning meetings at her home. She taught me sooo much about how to be a great leader, she supported my career, and promoted me to my first Branch Manager position. I am truly grateful for the positive impact she had on my career and the friendship I now share with her daughter Jill. - Geri you will be missed.

Our dear, funny Aunt Geri has passed on. Behind, she leaves a world of happy memories. My late husband Stephen and I would go out West as often as possible. There were nights of dominoes, where a glass of wine,( or a drink of choice) accompanied fun , laughter and a bit of trash talk. Aunt Geri was a very soft hearted compassionate lady with a spine of steel. My family and I will miss her terribly. Rest in Peace Aunt Geri. May her memory be everlasting.💔
