Geraldine “Jerry” (Payne) Flavin, age 92, died peacefully July 10, 2015. Jerry was born in Steelville, Missouri, to Gerald and Rebel Payne. After graduating high school, she moved to St. Louis where she met Frank — her beloved husband. They met on a blind date, eloped and were married for 48 years. Tom and Missy were born in Fluorescent, Missouri, where they lived until 1962 when they moved to the San Mateo Highlands. While living there, Jerry enjoyed water aerobics at the Rec Center pool, laying in the sun and walking her dogs. Wonderful neighbors and the proximity of her sister Eileen and family made it a great place to live.
The family has special memories of trips to Monterey, Pismo Beach and San Diego. Jerry and the kids swam and Frank golfed. Frank died in 1998. She is survived by son Tom, daughter Missy, (Hans) grandsons Will and Peter, and nephew Gerald (Moore.)
“Jerry was fun to be with and she liked to have a good time. She wanted everyone around her to have fun as well.”
Celebrations will be announced at a future date. Thank you to the Weatherly Inn, Bay Bridge Care Home and the Hospice House in U.P. for their excellent care.
