Geraldine King Smith, affectionately called "Jerrie," exchanged Life for Eternal Life on Friday, August 29, 2025.  She transitioned at her residence, while surrounded by loved ones, at the blessed and miraculous age of 92.

Geraldine was a blessing from God, born on August 28, 1933, to the late Lloyd and Helen Holmes. She was a lifelong resident of Loudoun County and was educated in the Loudoun County Public Schools System at Carver Elementary School and Douglass High. Upon graduation, Geraldine was gainfully employed as a domestic worker. When the opportunity presented itself, she later became a Nanny to Laura and Ann Nichols.

At the tender age of eight, Geraldine confessed Christ as her personal Savior and was baptized at Second Mount Olive Baptist Church – Brownsville in Hamilton, VA. Later, she became a faithful member of Grace Annex United Methodist Church (UMC) in Purcellville, VA, which is now called Agape United Methodist Church, where she was a dedicated member until her death. Her service to Almighty God includes being a member of the Music Ministry, singing in the senior choir for Grace Annex UMC, and was on the Council Board for Grace Annex UMC.

On April 4, 1953, Geraldine was united in Holy Matrimony to the late Charles Gibson Smith, Sr. Their loving union was blessed by God with four wonderful and loving children. Geraldine loved to spend time with family.  Her hobbies were cooking, doing word search puzzles, watching baseball and game shows and, in her earlier years, she loved to dance.  A die-hard Washington Nationals fan, she was the player, coach, and umpire. I guess she loved the game of baseball because her soul mate was a phenomenal baseball player. Geraldine was a mother and grandmother figure to many.  She shared a special relationship with her nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, the Agape United Methodist Church family, and Alcinda Chinn (deceased) and her children (Michael, Kevin, Ronald (deceased), and Diane), grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Geraldine's legacy will be cherished forever by her four loving and devoted children, Charles Jr., Wendy, Barbara, and Garry, Sr. (Carmen); two sisters, Paulette Holmes-Wright (Ernest), Michele Birgans, and one brother Lloyd Holmes, Jr. (Debra); brother-in-law, Gerald Bailey; two sisters-in-law, Margaret Green and Gloria Smith; seven grandchildren, Michael (Melissa), Jay, Brian (Andrea), Damon (Jairan), Mark (Aimee), Steven, and Daniel (Chantel); 11 great-grandchildren; and one great, great-grandson.

Geraldine was preceded in death by Charles Smith, Sr. (Husband); Lloyd and Helen Holmes (Parents), five sisters, Pamela Holmes, Sandra Chapman, Loretta Bailey, Marsha Taylor, Carolyn Holmes; Jacqueline Smith (daughter-in-law), and Shyon Smith (great-grandson).
