Affectionately known as “Aunt Gerry”, she was not only an aunt to her nieces and nephews, but she was also a mother figure to many and a caregiver to all who knew and loved her. She spent many hours reading, playing and storytelling to all in her favorite spot, the front porch.

Aunt Gerry loved spending time with her family and preparing meals at holiday gatherings. She loved her home and caring for her beautiful gardens. She had many wonderful friendships, and she enjoyed visiting her sister in Rhode Island, shopping, and trips to the Casino. She was a selfless person and put all others before herself.

The family would like to thank the excellent care she received by HospiceCare in the Berkshires staff. Their compassionate care was greatly appreciated.

There are no calling hours at this time, a private service will be in the fall. Donations in Geraldine Pedercini’ s memory can be made to HospiceCare in the Berkshires, Inc. To add to the Book of Memories, please visit www.flynndagnolifuneralhomes.com

Gerry had been a friend of our family since the 1980s when she became my mother's hairdresser and then began cutting my hair as well. We remained friends right up until her passing.

It was three or four weeks ago I ran into Gerry in Walmart. Every now and again I would run into her 'in the wild' as I like to say, at Big Y or Walmart. If she needed a ride I would give her one.

We will all miss Gerry very much. However, she is now with all of her family that has already passed.
