Geri was born in Kingsport and married Bud in 1955, then moved to Chicago, Illinois to start a family, and ultimately moved to back to Kingsport to live the remainder of their lives. She retired from Indian Path Medical Center where she was a part of the original staff to open the hospital and was proud to be the very first Frist Award winner. After retiring, she spent the remainder of her life enjoying and caring for family. She was proud to share her culinary skills with her children and grandchildren making Sunday dinners and Christmas candy.
