Geri worked for me as my executive assistant when I served the City Portland as Chief Administrative Officer. By that point in her career she had a deep knowledge and history of the City, and knew how to deal with elected officials, bureau directors, and others. Skills that were crucial in her job. Geri kept me organized and we enjoyed working together as a team. As I read her wonderful life story, I realized that there was much I did not know about Geri, but it affirmed that which I did know. She was a kind, caring, and giving person who accepted adversity without complaint.
My condolences to her family on the loss of such a wonderful mother, grandmother, and friend.
