Geraldine Mcgehee

Geraldine McGehee went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, April 28, 2007 at Baptist Health in Little Rock. She was born February 4, 1930 to the late Rev. Willie and Nearlene McGehee in Hot Spring, Arkansas. She attended Langston High School and graduated from Cosmetology School. She retired in 1990 due to health reasons. She was employed formerly by the Arlington Hotel, Ouachita Hospital, and Lakewood Nursing Home.
She leaves to cherish her memory one son, Willie Simmons and her beloved daughter-in-law, Franci; her beloved granddaughter, Esther. She stressed education and most of all had a genuine love of God and people. Her favorites were good food, pets, a good cup of coffee and meeting people. She was affectionately known as ?Gerrie? to her friends, she leaves a host of friends in Hot Springs, Little Rock and her beloved friend, Janine McGehee of Memphis, Tennessee to cherish her memories.
