Geraldine L. (Grant) Wildman, 84, formerly of West Warwick, passed away peacefully on Christmas Eve day, December 24, 2025, at Avalon Nursing Home in Warwick.
Born in Providence, she was the beloved daughter of the late George U. and Marie R. (Santos) Grant. Geraldine was a lifelong Rhode Islander and a longtime resident of West Warwick, where she made her home for most of her life. She found her greatest joy in the simple pleasures of being surrounded by family and relaxing while watching her favorite Western movies on television.
She leaves behind her loving children, Ronnie R. Wilbanks, Jr. and Christine L. Lawrence and her husband, John; five cherished grandchildren; and four adored great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her son, George Pettis, as well as by her siblings.
In keeping with her wishes, funeral services and interment will be private. Visiting hours are respectfully omitted.
