She was born on March 5, 1929 in Stevensville, PA the daughter of the late John D. and Isabelle M. Carlin Bradshaw.

Geraldine was a graduate of the Camptown High School with the class of 1947.  After high school she obtained her Bachelor of Science Degree from Mansfield State Teachers College in 1951.  She started her teaching career in 1951 at the LeRaysville Elementary School.  She taught 1 st grade for one year then 2 nd grade for the rest of career.  In 1970 she moved from the LeRaysville Elementary School to the Northeast Bradford Elementary until she retired in 1985.  While she was teaching she also assisted on the family farm and apple orchard.

She married Bob White (her one and only) on October 5, 1985.  They moved to Tunkhannock until 2000, at which time they built their house in Stevensville to come "Home" to enjoy the rest of their retirement years.

Geraldine was a member of the Stevensville Presbyterian Church and became an elder with the church in the 1940's.  She was also the treasurer for 20 years.  In her younger years she hunted deer to provide food for the family and she harvested at least 50 deer.  She was very loyal to her family and took care of her parents in their later years and her brother, Gerald, before his passing 2004.  Her dear friend, Barb Gott, gave her lessons in rug hooking. Geraldine also loved cross stitching and quilting.  She mentioned not having time to finish her most recent project, a quilt that she had been working on for the last three years.  She even made all of her clothing for her entire life.

"Quail" White (d. October 30, 2020); her infant sister Charlotte Mary Bradshaw; her close cousin, Carl Bradshaw; and her brothers/sister-in-law, William and Lorraine White and Gerald White.

Geraldine had many good friends, near and far.  She had several wonderful neighbors who were close to her.  They stayed in touch with brief visits and frequent phone calls.  Their kindness will never be forgotten.  Geraldine was loved and will be missed by everyone who knew her.
