Geraldine L. Racz, 90, of Upland, PA, died February 17, 2025, at Riddle Memorial Hospital in Media, PA. She was born October 8, 1934, in Gallitzin, PA, daughter of the late John and Caroline (Pierzchala) Watters. Mrs. Racz was preceded in death by her husband, Francis Racz, whom she married November 4, 1955, two sons, Francis “Frank”, and Joseph, and her sisters: Eleanor Watters, and Audrey Watkins. She is survived by her daughter, Debra Racz Zimmerman (Edward) whom she lived, and son, Donald (Carol Zalesak) of Richmond, TX ; seven grandchildren ; 5 great-grandchildren ; and two brothers, Thomas Watters of Duncansville, PA and John “Jack” Watters of Hollidaysburg, PA. Gerry, affectionately known as “Grandma”, “Gigi”, and “Granny”, loved the Lord and spent much time daily in prayer for her family, friends, and those she knew of that had a need. She was an avid Bible reader and was a force to be reckoned with when it came to a Bible quiz. She faithfully supported Rendille children (East Africa) for uniforms, tuition and books, so that they could attend school. She was always ready to speak of what the Lord Jesus Christ did for her, always willing to share her life verse: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6). She was devoted to her family and loved her times with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, watching them grow, sharing in their activities, and listening to their jokes. She was a true fan of the Great American Family Network (especially the mysteries) and Sudoku. She was a member of the Bible Presbyterian Church of Marcus Hook, PA. She was genuine and will be sorely missed. Friends and family will be received on Saturday, February 22, 2025, from 9 AM until 10:45 AM at the Gibbons Funeral Home, 1688 Liberty St., Ashville, PA 16613. Service is at 11 AM with the Rev. Keith Coleman officiating. Interment at Amsbry Union Cemetery, Gallitzin, PA.

Box 2022, Boothwyn, PA 19061) or to the Independent Board for Presbyterian Foreign Missions (P.O. Box 1346, Blue Bell, PA 19422) in Gerry’s memory. www.gibbonsfhashvillecoalport.com
