Geraldine was predeceased by four brothers and three sisters and was happy to know she will meet up with them on her journey to the spirit world where she will also be joining all of her ancestors, family and friends who have gone before her. Geraldine was blessed with five children, Eugene Connolly of Casco, Maine, Roxanne Carlson of Indian Island, Maine, Michael Connolly of Argyle, Maine, Tami Connolly of Argyle, Maine, and Tracy Swiantek of North Charleston, South Carolina.
