Geraldine M. Welscher

I first met Geri in the spring of 1978 when I attended one of my first Catholic Dominic Club singles events in Rochester Minnesota. Geri was one of the key organizing members of the club and made me feel very welcome. The Dominics soon became my key recreational activity outside of work and Geri and I became good friends. Geri became such a key part of my life and she was one of the most intelligent, capable, unselfish, loving, and high energy friends I have ever had. We used to be so close but life intervenes and sends us along our own paths. I am so grateful and thankful that I was able to talk to Geri two times in the last year and a half with the last time a few months ago at a fellow Dominic Club members funeral. When I first found out about Geri’s health problem in May of 2025, I began to pray for her every single day. When I saw on Facebook that Geri had passed away Friday morning, all I could do was just hang my head and cry! She was that kind of person to know and be friends with! I have absolutely no doubt that Geri is in Heaven now with the Lord, nestled in LOVE! Hopefully I will see her again when my time comes! A final word to us all to cherish those we LOVE while we still have them. I never realized how much I loved Geri until she was gone!
