GERALDINE MARY ESTHER SMITH (nee MCKECHNIE) January 30, 1947 - October 2, 2010 On Saturday, October 2, 2010, Geraldine (Geri) passed away after a brief illness at the Grace Hospital at the age of 63 years. Left to mourn Geri's passing is her companion Mr. Glen Taylor of Winnipeg; four children Jim, Debbie (Keith), Danielle (Carolin) and Kevin (Christina); five grandchildren Elizabeth, Joshua, Bradley, Kyle and Alyssa; sister Lynne; brothers Doug, Tom and all of their families. She also will be sadly missed by many life-long friends near and far; Pat and Bob Migliore, Bernie and Eileen Milum, Katherine Smith of Victoria, Vivian Hill of Calgary, and Jim and Elaine Johnson of Grand Prairie. She was predeceased by her parents Stewart (1991) and Evelyn (1983) McKechnie and her husband of almost 35 years, Douglas (2001). At Geri's request there will be no Funeral Service. A private interment will be held for family and close friends. All of the family and friends give thanks to the Grace General Hospital's Intensive Care team for all their efforts and the comfort they provided Geri through to her passing. We are grateful for their compassion.
