Geraldine Grier, age 92, of Alto, peacefully went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, August 26, 2025.
Born on March 10, 1933, in Lula, she was a daughter of the late Alvin and Belle Armour Grier. Geraldine was retired from Fieldale Farms Corp. with over 35 years of service. She is remembered as a loving caregiver, who enjoyed helping those in need and making sure that everyone was cared for and had food to eat. She especially enjoyed having her family over for a visit and preparing a meal for them. Family was most important to Geraldine, and she was a caregiver to several of them in their time of need. While she had no children of her own, her nieces and nephews were treated as if they were hers. In her spare time, Geraldine was an avid gardener who canned much of her produce. She enjoyed her coffee, gospel music, and going to singings. She attended Crossroads Baptist Church when she was able.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a sister, Dorothy Ward; and brothers, A.M., Alvin, Jr., Otis “Preach”, Bud, Van, Garnett, Wiley, Lemuel, and Roy Grier.
Survivors include sister, Ruth Swann; brother and sister-in-law, E.D. Grier (Cathy); niece and caregiver, Pat Sullens; and numerous other nieces, nephews, extended relatives and friends.
The family would like to especially thank Geraldine’s special niece, Karen Tomlin; caregiver, Lauren Burgess; and special friends, Pete Burgess and Shirley King.
Graveside services are 2 pm on Friday, August 29, 2025, at Pleasant Grove Cemetery, with David Tomlin officiating.
The family will receive friends from 12 noon until 1:30 pm on Friday, at the funeral home prior to the service.
