Will miss her smile
Fun Lady! Always had a smile! It was always a pleasure to be around Geraldine, whether at work or seeing her shopping after our retirements. From my perspective, Geraldine's life exuded the joy of the Lord.
I really got to know Geraldine Perry in 1985 with the start of SIA, Southside Improvement Association. She attended the first meeting and established as one of our founding members. She was affectionately known to us "Mother Geraldine Perry". She was faithful member of SIA. She attended and participated in all our events. If you needed flyers distributed, you could depend on Mother Perry. She got her church, Trinity CME involved in SIA as well as her neighbors. She was an advocate for community involvement. Mother Perry walked the neighborhood with other members to fight crime. Many yard or porch sits were held on her property. She was bold and fearless. Mother Perry has a SIA trash barrel in her yard yo keep the neighborhood clean for over 30 years.
These are just a few words about Mother Perry. She will be missed dearly.
On behalf of Southside Improvement Association, we extend out deepest sympathy to Mother Geraldine Perry's family. We love her but God loves her more.

Mama P,
I never had the opportunity to meet you in person but I have been blessed to witness the positive upbringings of Terence over the years from the life lessons you have instilled in him to make him the man he is today. May you now be at ease and rest in peace.

Mrs Perry was always joyful. When you greeted her, she always had.a smile. She enjoyed giving the little kids treats and my grandson enjoyed them each and every time. I will miss looking across the church and seeing her face and the conversations that we shared. She was loved. May God bless and keep her family.
