Geraldine E. Dodds, 95, formerly of Hermitage, passed away peacefully Tuesday evening, April 9, 2019, in North Strabane Rehab and Wellness Center, Canonsburg, PA.

Mrs. Dodds was born July 11, 1923, in Ponca City, OK, a daughter of the late Clarence and Ada (Jones) Brown. She was a graduate of Aurora High School in Missouri.

Geraldine was employed for several years as a bookkeeper at the former Stupka Pontiac in Hermitage. Later, she began working at the former Betty Devine Beauty Shop and then at Megan's Shear Possibilities, both in Farrell.

She was also a member of the ladies auxiliary of Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post #5286, Farrell; American Legion, Post #299, Sharon; the Loyal Order of Moose, Lodge 55; and the Slovenian Home.

She loved traveling and enjoyed many trips with her daughter, Sandy, and son-in-law Don including visits to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Caribbean cruises, Las Vegas, and various cities in California.
