Geraldine Patricia “Jerry” Licause, a registered nurse for forty years passed away peacefully in her sleep on Monday, June 28, 2021. She was 88.
Geraldine was born in Pittsburgh, Pa, on September 9, 1932, to Stanley and Genevieve Stachura Jankowski.
Jerry graduated from Saint Francis School of Nursing in Pittsburgh. In 1957 she met Joseph Licause on a blind date and they were married six months later on July 20, 1957. In 1960 they built their home in Weirton and started their family. In their sixty-three-plus years of marriage, they were blessed with two sons and five grandchildren.
Jerry worked at Weirton Medical Center where she was the head nurse on level eight for thirty years.
In their free time, Joe and Jerry loved to dance, and were quite talented at the jitterbug. Through the years they always looked forward to going on a family vacation to the beach. In recent years, Jerry loved eating chicken wings and would order Dee Jay’s wings several nights a week.
