Geraldine "Gerry" Mildred Graff

On December 2, at 1:30 am, Geraldine (Gerry) Mildred Graff peacefully passed away at the age of 84. Geraldine was born in Rochester, New York on October 19, 1936 to Hulett and Eleanor (Slowe) Bound. She was the middle child of Sisters’ Eleanor (Suter) and Elaine (Su). Gerry went to cosmetology school after graduating from high school. In addition, she raised four children, worked at a school kitchen when her kids were growing up while in New York. Then, as a cook at North Shore Nursing home after moving to Colorado in 1971. Eventually, Gerry went to work at Kodak until her husband Harold and her retired. On July 16, 1955, she married the love of her life, Harold Edward Graff. Her husband of 64 years just passed away recently, October 26, 2019.  They raised four children: Shelly, Kevin, Ricky and Jeffery. Gerry loved spending time with her grandchildren as well as her great grandchildren. There wasn’t much she wouldn’t do for them; especially in a time of need. Also, she was a fantastic cook and many times cooked large portions, which became to be known as Graff portions. During the Christmas Holiday she use to cook delicious cookies and breads. Finally, we’ll always wonder if she was trying to tell us something the night before she died when she said "I wonder what dad wants for dinner tomorrow night.” Now, they’re walking hand and hand, swing their arms back and forth, laughing and so happy to be with one another again in the arms of Jesus. She was preceded in death by her husband Harold Edward Graff parents Hulett and Eleanor Bound, her youngest son Jeffery and two great grandchildren Alanna and Pauly. Gerry is survived by daughter Shelly of Loveland, CO; sons Kevin (Joelle) of Lake Wales, FL and Ricky of Anacortes, WA; grandchildren Sandy of Bloomington, MN, Erica (Nate) Alluisi of Buena Vista and Kellie Webster of Loveland. She is also survived by great grandchildren Jessica, Connor, Kai, Hannah, Caden, Cooper and Felix her cat.
