Geraldine Dennis Thompson

December 15, 1924 - March 14, 2017

Geraldine Dennis Thompson departed this life on March 14, 2017 in Tulsa, OK. She was 92 years old. Geraldine was born in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma on December 15, 1924 to Edgar Athel and Ethel Lee Warrick Dennis. She was preceded in death by her husband, Raymond D. Thompson; her son, Danny R. Thompson; her parents; her brothers Edgar Dennis, Franklin Dennis and Wayne Dennis; her infant sister Juanita Dennis and sister Marguerite Dennis Perteet.

She is survived by her daughters Mary Dickson of Midwest City, OK, Sharon Suellentrop (Bob) of Birmingham, AL, Carolyn Burke (Brian) of Tulsa, OK; grandchildren Gregg Dickson of Oklahoma City, OK, Kim Brown (David) of Tuttle OK, Matt Thompson (Amber) of Edmond, OK, Adam Suellentrop of Queens, NY, Austin Suellentrop (Janna) of Birmingham, AL, Rachel Burke Giefer and Ashley Burke Towles (Chris) of Tulsa, OK; great-grandchildren Allison and Parker Brown, Gwendolyn Dickson, Rileigh Thompson, and Noelle, Elise and Audrey Suellentrop; brothers Mack Dennis of Capitol Heights, Maryland, Claude Dennis of Sun City, CA; sisters Mary Nicolosi of Oklahoma City, OK, Beaulah Wilson of Edmond, OK, and Fern Daniels of Norman, OK.

Although she lived for a few years in North Hollywood, CA, she lived most of her adult life in Midwest City, OK and was a member of Country Estates Baptist Church. She loved to garden and took great joy in cooking for her family, but her greatest passion was quilting, which she continued to do almost to the end of her life. We will miss her love expressed through her cornbread dressing, banana pudding and chocolate chip cookies, but mostly her gentle, simple, accepting ways.

A memorial service in celebration of her life will be held Friday, March 24, 2017 at 2:00 pm at Ford Funeral Service, 305 S. Sooner Road, Midwest City, OK 73110.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to Alzheimer's Association, Oklahoma Chapter, 2448 E. 81st Street, Suite 3000, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74137-4250, or the charity of your choice.

Grandma's quilts kept me warm in the winter,
And made a soft bed on the floor.
Grandma's quilts always helped me remember
The lives of those who came before.
Each one more colorful than the last,
Telling its own special story;
Pieced from the scraps of all our pasts,
Sewn together with the threads of love and memory.
