Geraldine Faye Parks

Geraldine Faye Parks went for her final rest on July 25, 2025.  She lived a full life of laughter and serving others.  Geraldine spent her life in service to others as a pastor's wife (Francis) and schoolteacher.  She impacted the life of many of her former students, fellow educators in Blanchester and members of the churches she served.  Their service to the Lord included churches near Warrensville, West Virginia, Jeffersonville; Indiana, Jackson, Kentuckey and several Friends churches in the Wilmington, Ohio area.  Geraldine enjoyed work trips to Jamaica and Belize.  She served many roles.  As a Parks cousin stated "Aunt Jerry was a calm, loving presence amid loud arguing Parks' boys".

Her family lived a quiet life in Teays, West Virginia.  Her siblings included: Troy (Patsy) Rooper, Louise (Gordon) Johnson, Elmer (Mary) Rooper and Kenny (Barb) Rooper.  Geraldine enjoyed nieces and nephews on both sides of the family.

Holidays were Geraldine's favorite time of the year.  She enjoyed gathering all her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren for fellowship and fun around the table.  Family could always count on Momaw to be there for them no matter what time of day or night.
