Geraldine Pauline Halsey

July 2, 1937 - March 27, 2019

Geraldine "Gerry" Pauline Halsey, 81, of Charlotte, a woman that devoted her life to her family, died March 27, 2019. Gerry was born on July 2, 1937 in Gross Pointe Farms, MI to Russell and Angeline (Blenkle) Rogers. She married David L. Halsey on October 24, 1955 and together raised three sons with good old fashioned values, including lots of home cooking, baking and activities for the entire family. She was a cub scout den mother for her sons, and took them everywhere for their sporting events. Christmas cookies were Gerry's real claim-to-fame, every year she would bake 150 dozen cookies (1,800 cookies). She also enjoyed traveling in the family fifth wheel and snowmobiling. In addition to being a great mom and wife, Gerry also found time to provide financial support for her family as a manager at Formrite. Gerry is survived by her husband of 63 years, David "Hap"; sons, David, Douglas, and Daniel (Ann) Halsey; grandchildren, Greg, Patrick, and Joseph Halsey and Erica (Evan) Cicchinelli; two great-grandchildren, Sofia and Giovanni (Gino); and her brothers, Russell and Ken Rogers. She was predeceased by her brother, Bill Rogers, and her parents. Graveside services are being planned for a later date.
