A cherished mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister and friend, she was born in Second Peninsula, Lunenburg County on February 19, 1940, grew up in Port Medway, Queens County and moved to Brooklyn after marrying her beloved Sherman.
Faith in God was at the heart of her life. She lived that faith every day by loving and supporting her family and serving her church community. Graced with a ready smile, quick humour and keen sense of fun, she delighted in gathering with family and friends, engaging in lively conversation and exercising her sharp mind by learning new things. She was a skilled quilter, gardener, birder, and genealogy researcher, collecting many friends through these hobbies.
She was predeceased by parents Warren and Inez Stevens, husband Sherman, and brother Daniel.
She is survived by children Robin Anthony (Barry), Brooklyn; Colin (Judy Livingstone), New Glasgow; and Karen Barnes (Robert), Brooklyn. Grandchildren Daniel and Melissa Williams, Hannah and Luke Barnes, and John David Anthony. Great grandchildren, Emily, Noah and Megan Anthony. Sisters, Marjorie Wamboldt; Shirley Weagle (Willard); Barbara Burns (Ronald). Brothers Larry (Grace); James (Barbara Parnell); William (Judy); Gerald (Virginia). Sisters-in-law Charlene Freeman (Gordon) and Judy Brown (Brian). Uncle Wilfred (Evelyn) Stevens, aunt May Stevens, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Treasure the memories as you heal. Xx

Rev. Robert & Amy Seaboyer
Even though Geraldine and I are related, we only met several years ago when my husband Bob & I attended a service at the Liverpool church. She was such a delightful lady and I was sorry we hadn’t met years ago. For Geraldine, her death was simply a step from time into eternity and the Presence of Jesus, the One she loved and served so faithfully. She ran life’s race well and has heard those words, “Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord.” Her faith has given way to sight and she has laid aside the limitations of her earthly body and is more alive then she has ever been. We pray that her family may know the peace and comfort of the Holy Spirit, the sweet Presence of Jesus, the love of family and friends and many precious memories of one who was dearly loved. We have a wonderful hope in Jesus. One day we shall meet our loved ones around the ‘Throne of God’ and together we will worship the One who loved us and gave His life that we might have forgiveness of sins and life eternal. May the Lord be your comfort and strength in this time of deep sorrow. Blessings! Bob & Amy Seaboyer

Dear Robin, Karen and your entire family,
I am so very shocked to hear of your loss.

Her faith was strong and I know she will be missed by many. Karen I wish I could be near you so I could give you a big hug for I know the grief you have within you. Remember that you will always carry her with you in your heart and when the flowers begin to bloom she will be watching from above smiling. May the Lord be with you all.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of your dear Mother’s passing. It is true that she is no longer suffering, but it takes a very long time to get back the parts of yourselves that left with her. it is a hard road to travel.. They say that eventually you can remember the good times and that the tears will subside. I’m still waiting. I pray for your strength and may God bless you all.
