Geraldine Edna (Foss) Pashen was born on January 15, 1927, to Gilbert and Martha (Lokensgard) Foss in Revere, MN. She grew up in Lamberton, MN, then later moved to Alberta, MN, where she attended school and graduated.

She was united in marriage to Robert David Pashen on October 20th, 1947. To this union, five children were born: Thomas, Gwen, Julie, Janet, and Randy.

Geraldine was a homemaker while raising her family. In later years she worked at the Sears Catalog Store until her retirement.

She enjoyed mission work, preparing funeral meals for her church families, volunteering for the American Cancer Society, Women’s V.F.W. Auxiliary, and helping at the West Wind Village. She so enjoyed caring for her grandchildren. She loved making chocolate chip cookies for them and always had some in the freezer, ready for their next visit. Other hobbies include attending school activities and playing card games with family during winter snow storms. She took many trips with family to Hawaii, Florida, and Arizona. She was a faithful daily walker at the RFC, becoming a member of the 500-mile club.
