She was born on March 19, 1930 in Fair Play, MO the daughter of Edgar Fisher and Mary (Bugg) Fisher.

This was all in addition to her main job at American Can Co., as well as her favorite job, being a mother.
Geraldine is preceded in death by two husbands; Leonard Mann and Paul E. Rains, as well as her three brothers, Harley, Lewis, and Bruce Fisher, and her son-in-law Greg Klein.
