Jeraldine loved God and talked to him till the day she went to be with him. She was a Sunday School teacher and member of the choir at Burlington Pentecostal Holiness Church of Burlington. Most recently she was a member of Glen Raven Baptist Church, which she attended up until she was no longer able due to her illness, Her favorite type of music was southern gospel; she was always smiling and clapping along as soon as the song would start. Though her battle with dementia took a lot from her she will always be remembered by family and close friends for her  cooking for her family when she was younger, and her love for going out to eat in her older years. Jeraldine enjoyed crocheting everything from snowflakes and angels to blankets for anyone in the family. She loved completing puzzles and playing checkers with anyone who would play. Jeraldine loved being outdoors and mowing the yard as long as she was able. Most recently she will be remembered for her love of riding in a car just enjoying the ride and the scenery around her.
