She was born on March 19, 1927, in Lake Village, Arkansas. Geraldine grew up in Laredo, Texas, where she graduated high school and business school. In 1947, she married Edward Jackson. She accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior at a young age and served Him all of her days. Geraldine was employed in the banking industry for over 30 years. She was an avid reader and lifelong learner. She served her church in many capacities including teaching Sunday school, singing in the choir, and volunteering as treasurer.  Her greatest joy though, was her family.
