• Notes

  OSBALDESTON, Geraldine 'Gerry' - (nee Keller) Passed away peacefully in her 76th year, at home Saturday, December 30 2006 after a lengthy illness. She was surrounded by her loving family. Wife and constant companion of 52 years to Gordon. Loving mother to Stephen (Atlanta, GA), David (Ottawa, Ont.), Cathy French (Oakville, Ont.) and Rob (London, Ont.), mother-in-law to Carol, Elaine and Doug and grandmother to Morgan, Matthew, Ryan, Jessica, Michael and Jason. Loving daughter of the late Eugene Keller and Gertrude Zettel of Kitchener, Ont. Sister of Anne Stecho, Norma McClenaghan, Ralph and Rainer (Ray). Predeceased by Clayton and Clare (Sonny) of Kitchener/Waterloo. Proud nurse and career diplomat's partner, Gerry made houses into homes in Sao Paulo, Chicago, Los Angeles, Ottawa and London (Ont.) where all were welcomed and none were forgotten. Chauffer of miniature ballerinas and aspiring athletes, "Mrs. O's" young family and their friends grew all too quickly into and out of her well-known nine-passenger station wagons. Hostess of national and international businesspersons, politicians and public servants alike, she travelled the world and never forgot a friendship forged, regardless of how long it took for the road to lead back. Passionate about golf, musical theatre and her church - but first, always and forever - a wife, companion, mother and "Nana" who expected and, we hope, got the best from each of us. Heartfelt thanks to the medical team of doctors, nurses and associated staff who gave tirelessly of their time and compassion. Friends may be received today (Wednesday, January 3) from 4-7 p.m. at the John T. Donohue Funeral Home, 362 Waterloo St. at King St, London, Ont. (519 434-2708). The Funeral Mass will be celebrated by Father Murray Sample on Thursday, January 4 at 10 a.m. at Saint Michael's Parish, 515 Cheapside, London. Cremation to take place with interment at Parkview Cemetery, 335 University Ave, Waterloo, on Friday, January 5 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Cancer Clinic of the London Health Sciences Foundation - https://www.lhsf.ca The Record Jan 3 2007
