God love her little heart. Precious Nanny Geraldine…. It’s how my kids refer to her to this day. Geraldine was my mother’s (Adrienne Murphy’s) best friend, they loved and cared for one another like sisters. I still have the quilts she made for my kids when they were born.
I went to see her every time I went home while she was still in Placentia……. To this day it’s still the best loaf of bread ever.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Take care and God bless you all. You’ll be greatly missed Nanny Geraldine❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sincere sympathies to you all on your mom's passing. I have lots of special memories of her from my childhood days living in Gr. Paradise. I visited your home practically every day. I was always so happy to hold one of the baby girls, as I had been surrounded by boys. She was always so patient and kind toward everyone. May she rest in peace and her memories be a blessing for you all.

My Condolences to the Browne family at this difficult time.
Geraldine or Nanny Geraldine as my children so affectionately called her, was my mothers best Friend. She was the kindest soul you could ever have the fortune to meet. I’m sure there was standing room only to greet her when she arrived in heaven. There’s a card game on the go tonight, the card buddies are all together once again. Rest In Peace you sweet, sweet woman❤️

To all Family Members; So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all today as you morn the loss of your beautiful Mom, Grandmother and Great-grandmother. I know what it is like because I lost my Mom when she was 64 and I was 20 and it hurt so much. I only met your Mom a couple of times and found her to be a very kind and sweet lady. Also, my daughter-in-law Sheila always talked of her Nan with such love and cherished the quilts her Nan gave her because she made them. Being on Facebook with Annabelle, I could see from all the pictures, the love you all had for her and all you did to make her life so comfortable. Just hold on to your beautiful memories today and they will help you in the days ahead. God Bless You All and “ Fly High With The Angels Mrs. Browne”.

A few years back, when aunt Geraldine would have been in her mid seventies and mom was in hospital at HSC following a bad car accident, I walked into moms room one afternoon to see aunt Geraldine sitting there having taken it in her head to drive herself in to see mom. That visit brightened moms day so much and she still mentions it. That's my memory of aunt Geraldine...when she put her mind to something...she did it!

Jeannette, Friends & Family. So sorry to hear of Mrs. Browne’s/Geraldine passing. I first met Geraldine when she shared a room with Aunt Maddie at Alderwood Retirement Home. We had a number of opportunities to chat and each time she proudly showed me photos on her wall of her many children in particular……where I recognized Jeannette clearly…….such a small world. My Aunt Maddie originally from Colinet thought the world of Geraldine. Geraldine had an amazing calmness about her and one could sense her warm and special heart she carried through her lifetime. May all your life’s memories of her bring you Comfort and Peace. Bless you All. Madeline O’Rourke (Aunt Maddie) , Cathy Ivany & Gerry Ayre

My heart swells and I'm staring through my tears as I write this. What a beautiful life to celebrate. The last conversation I had with Nanny was hilarious. She kept telling jokes and had me laughing as she laid in that hospital bed. But I also told her I didn't know how she did it. How did she raise so many children, cook, clean, clothe, and make every special event so special? How did she know to make tea sandwiches and perfect Christmas trees and lacy snowflakes? I refer to Pinterest and Instagram for everything, and before that I had Martha Stewart Magazines. With only four children under my roof at most, I still struggle to keep up with meals and laundry and often throw up my hands after minimal effort. How did she do it? When did she sleep? My eight month old keeps me up - let alone getting so many children to bed at all. I think of her all the time: while I clean up spills or plan a birthday or wake up to my baby crying. I want to give my children what I had when I was growing up. I want them to feel the love of God through me. I want them to feel safe and taken care of the way I was. And it all trickles down from this amazing woman. She cared so much. My mother gave me what she had. Nanny deserves every bit of honor and love and respect. I don't know if anyone else could've done it as well as Geraldine Browne did. I love you, Nanny. I'll always try to crack your beautiful code. You were all the lovely things I want to be. Thank you for teaching us to fear God, and thank yoi for holding us to the high standard of living for Him. We will see you again someday.

Nanny was the most beautiful and precious woman. Above all else she had a fierce love for God and a fierce love for her family. She was so proud, as she should be, of every one of her descendants. The last time I spoke to her she said her most important message in life was to follow Jesus and meet her in Heaven.
Nanny could always make babies laugh and had the best advice for mommys. She gave me advice that I have passed on to all my friends when they have kids and I let them know that it came from my grandmother - who had 11 children - so she knows! I remember during one of her visits Nanny told me I was an incredible mom and she was proud of how I was raising my children, going to church, the little ones praying every night, etc. Honestly, her saying that will always be one of my greatest honors. Because if I can be a fraction of the mother/grandmother/great-grandmother she was, I will consider my life accomplished.
Although I never lived close to Nanny, she always lived close in my heart. I already miss her so much and ache to be with all the family. Love to you all and thank you so much for showering her with love and affection for the rest of us during her last days.
