It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Geraldine Watterson-French, who departed on December 24, 2025, at Good Hope Hospital. This announcement is made with the full consent of her family.
The funeral service for Geraldine will take place at Sacred Heart Church, located at Silver Link Rd, Glascote Heath, Tamworth B77 2EA, at 12:15 on Thursday, January 22. This will be followed by a private family service at Lichfield and District Crematorium.
Individuals wishing to participate in the procession are cordially invited to join us from the church and subsequently attend the wake at Bolehall Manor.
For those planning to visit the residence, we kindly request that you utilize the church car park for your vehicle and proceed on foot to ensure unimpeded access for the hearse.
All are welcome to attend each aspect of the services. Geraldine cherished being in the company of others, enjoying laughter and engaging in conversation. A gathering of this nature truly reflects how she would have wished to be remembered.
In lieu of flowers, the family of Geraldine has designated Birmingham Children's Hospital as the recipient for donations. Family flowers only are requested. Additionally, the family has requested that attendees wear traditional attire with a touch of red, as this was Geraldine's favorite color.
