Geraldine DeGeorge, 80, peacefully passed into Eternal Life on December 7, 2011, at her home in Stuart, FL, surrounded in prayer by her family. Her children, Gary, Gail, Sharon, Linda and John were with her and her daughter-in-law Lucyna and grandchildren Kyle, Branden, Lynette, Matthew and Cameron were praying for her. We thank all the family members and friends who kept her and us in prayer.

She married the love of her life, Joseph, at the age of 18 and they were married for 52 years. She worked in a bank and as a secretary for the U.S. Army. Once she had children, she became a homemaker in the most wonderful sense of that word, making her house a home not only for her children and grandchildren but for all who visited. Born in Detroit, she grew up in a large and loving Polish family. She hosted many celebrations at her home in Southfield, Mich. and at "the Lake" in Howell, Mich. and in Florida. She was an amazing cook, making pierogies, and golumpki (cabbage rolls) and kapusta – and from Dad's side of the family, the Maltese treats called pastizzi.

She spent winters in Stuart for many years and learned how to paint, adding this talent and her beautiful artwork to the legacy she leaves us. She had a creative spirit, and decorated cakes, embossed shirts, crocheted and did needlepoint. She was a devout Catholic, prayed the rosary daily and attended St. Joseph in Howell and St. Andrew Catholic Church in Stuart.

She was preceded in death by a daughter, Annette, and her husband, Joseph, in 2001.

SERVICE: Visitation will be from 2:00 to 8:00 PM on December 10, 2011 at the Forest Hills Funeral Homes Young and Prill Chapel, Stuart with a Vigil Prayer Service at 6:00 PM. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:30 AM on December 12, 2011 at St. Andrew Catholic Church. A memorial service will also be held for her in Michigan in the summer, details to be provided.

For those who wish, contributions may be made to the Treasure Coast Hospice, 1201 SE Indian Street, Stuart, FL 34997, or at 772/403-4530 or on line at www.tchospices.org. Donations may also be made to the St. Bonaventure Rosary Guild, 1301 Southeast 136th Ave., Davie, FL 33325
