In December 1943 she enlisted in the Women’s Army Corp and served in Europe following WWII, where she worked in the European US Headquarters and played softball in postwar Germany, and then was transferred back to the States. She received an honorable discharge in 1951 when she married and started a family. She moved to Santa Fe in 1964 with her daughters. For many years she was the organist and choir director at Christ Lutheran Church. She served the congregation in other ways as well.


A service of remembrance will be held at a later date. Geraldine will be interred at Santa Fe National Cemetery on Tuesday, October 11, 2016 at 10:30 am.
