Cover for Geraldine Watson's Obituary

Geraldine Watson

October 20, 1948 — April 26, 2026

Geraldine (Scola) Watson born on October 20th 1948, passed away with family at her side on April 4th, 2026.

She would light up every room she was in, sharing precious memories with family and friends alike. Gerry was loyal fan of Black Hawks and the Chicago bears, with a closet full of jerseys to show for it. Her love extended beyond just people, holding her dogs and fur-babies close to her heart. Geraldine was also a beautician and her talent showed in how she lived. Every photo of her includes her incredible smile, a sight absolutely treasured by all those she loved.

Geraldine is preceded in death by her parents James and Geraldine Scola. 

She leaves behind her wonderful husband Richard Watson, her sons James (Jennifer Polus) Watson and Jason (Jillian) Watson, her sister Denise Lasky, nephews Jeffery, Chris Klein, and Dillion Lasky, and grandchild Rocco Watson.
