After Red retired in 1998, they moved to Harrisonville, MO, where Geri was Director for several years at the Harrisonville Community Center. Together Geri and Red were quite a team.

During the last two years of her life, she moved to Brookdale Wornall Place and became an active member of the community. Geri made lots of good friends, played cards, helped run the community store, and was treasurer of the Residence Council.
