Uncover new discoveries and connections today by sharing about people & moments from yesterday.
  • Introduction

    She went by Geraldine. Us grandkids called her "MeeMa". She was the most wonderful woman that ever walked the face of this earth. A devoted Mother & Grandmother, her children & grandchildren were her life! She deprived herself of many luxuries to take care of all of them. She was an amazing cook & prepared tables of food for Thanksgiving, Christmas & Easter. She worked at Blue Buckle Overall Company for many years, making overalls, but still sewed most of the clothes that she, her daughters and granddaughters wore when she was off work. She was a member of the Rebekah Lodge. She had a corndog stand at the fair every year. She later worked as a clerk (and I believe, retired from) Jack's Liquor Store. Above and beyond all of this, she was my very best friend & confidante until the day she died. I will never meet a finer woman than her...there just aren't any.
