Gerry was predeceased by her life companion, John Reis, her brother Robert William Champoux, and her brother-in-law, Myron Simmons. Despite the losses she faced, Gerry's spirit and resilience remained an inspiration to all who knew her.

In addition to her professional achievements, Geraldyne found joy in fitness and community engagement. She was an enthusiastic member of the YMCA, frequently participating in fitness classes and running road races, inspiring others with her unwavering determination.

A celebration of Geraldyne's life will be at a later date.
