Surviving Geraldine is her Cousin, Father Joseph Moffatt, CSB; Daughter, Mary Catherine Anne (O’Neill) Salki (Alex); Grandson Kevin Salki (Christie Murray), Granddaughter Jennifer O’Neill-Salki (William Heil); Great-Granddaughters, Elizabeth Geraldine Salki and Penelope Rose Heil; her Stepchildren, Beverley Kirkland (Jack), Stuart Fraser (Monique Tardif) and Heather Borgan (Steve); her Stepgrandchildren, Cathy, Stephen, Christopher, Jacqueline, Matthew and Kerri; and, her many Nieces and Nephews, for all of whom she had a deep love, Angela (Jeff Polowin), Stephen (Shirley), Raymond, D’Arcy O’Neill; Suzy (J-M Dube), Michael O’Neill (Lise), Monica O’Neill, Martha Montgrain; Patrick, Paul (Michelle Tracy), Andrea MacTavish (Bill), Charlie (Christina Finley), Josee (Michael Yanover), and Chrystopher Major.  

Geraldine worked for 32 years in Ottawa, first at Munitions & Supply before becoming an Administrative Officer with National Health and Welfare. Nora Connelly, her dearest friend and co-worker, kept in touch with Gerry until near her end.

 
In the service of others, was the essence of Geraldine’s spirit, her raison d’être, providing comfort, security, and unconditional love to whomever was in need, regardless of self.  
Oh, that smile, those hugs!
