Geraldine attended school at Cartwright school of Wills point. She accepted Christ at an early age at the Elmo Church of God in Christ where she continued to serve the Lord every way she could so as to enlarge his Kingdom here on earth. She was an example of what a follower of Christ should be because she gave her everything to Him and to those she loved. She married Willie Peterson Sr. in 1952 and together they were blessed with many years of love, family and friends. She loved to cook for everybody and her recipes were enjoyed so much that she had her very own cookbook printed for all. She worked for the American National Bank as a hostess for over 25 years and her beautiful smile and warm personality made every visitor feel like they were home. A devoted wife and dedicated mother and grandmother, she will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
