    Geraldine Carol Trimmer DeSalvo

    August 11, 1937 - January 12, 2019

    Geraldine Carol Trimmer DeSalvo, known to her family, friends and coworkers as Gerri, passed away peacefully, Saturday, January 12, 2019 at the age of 81 following a stroke. Raised in Genoa, NV near Lake Tahoe, Geraldine lived the majority of her life in the New Orleans area, although her heart was always in Nevada. She was married to Philip DeSalvo for 53 years prior to his passing in 2015. Geraldine loved animals and was an avid reader who loved to read about the history of her family of pioneers and her home state. She was a homemaker for many years until she went to work as a medical transcriptionist at Touro Infirmary for a short while and then on to West Jefferson General Hospital, where she worked for many years prior to her retirement. She loved her job, her coworkers, the doctors and staff at West Jeff. She was preceded in death by her husband, Philip; and her parents, Arnold and Annie Trimmer, as well as her only sister, Shirley Giovacchini. She is survived by her loving children, Lorena DeSalvo Goitia (Kevin), Andrew DeSalvo and Georgia DeSalvo; her five grandchildren, Ryan (Sam), Dustin (Yvette) and Blaine Goitia and Seth and Margaret (Maggie) DeSalvo and her first great-grandson, Wyatt Goitia. She is also survived by her wonderful family in Nevada, nieces, Lisa Lekumberry (Jean Baptiste “J.B.”), Sheri Walters (Dan) and Terri Billman (Corey) and all of their children, Anna (Justin) and Etienne Lekumberry, Shaylynn and Whitney Walters and Connor and Elizabeth Billman. Geraldine will return home to be buried in her family plot next to her parents and sister in Mottsville Cemetery, near Lake Tahoe next to her home town of Genoa, Nevada. Graveside services will be held at a later date. L. A. Muhleisen & Son Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. To share your memories or leave condolences please visit www.muhleisen.com
