Legacy

Geri was born on September 19, 1938 to the late John & Mildred (nee Cusick) Hoffman. She married Billy Ray Stanley in November, 1956 and after a short time settled in Blackwood, NJ. There they raised 4 children, and she was committed to ensuring a strong education for them. She was a strong role model of kindness and compassion. Geri’s lifelong gift was making sure those she encountered felt valued. She was quick with a smile and kind word, and endlessly gracious. Geri valued God and family above all, and was always vested in acknowledging and celebrating even the smallest of accomplishments. Geri lived as she instilled; compassion, kindness and love. The world is a better place because she was born, and she will be terribly missed.
