While living in Angleton, she met and married Arthur L. Lee, who preceded her in death. Later, she met an old classmate, Charles H. Day, at their 60th. High School class reunion at Groesbeck. The next year they were reunited again when they were the Homecoming King and Queen. On January 5, 1992, Geraldine was united in marriage with Charles Day, when they were both age 82. They lived in the Woodlands, where they had three really good years together, until health problems prompted a move to Tennessee to be near her niece. Mr. Day preceded Geraldine in death and was buried in Mexia, Texas. Geraldine always loved the springtime Texas wildflowers, especially the Texas bluebonnets. She was a member of the Methodist Church of Angleton, later renewing her membership in the First United Methodist Church of Groesbeck.
