She was born on February 18, 1933 in Toledo, OH to Lucian and Violet (Urbanski) Borysiak. Geraldine worked in food service for the Toledo Board of Education for 32 years, finishing her career as a Supervisor at Woodward High School in 2005. Proud of her ethnic heritage, she was a wonderful cook and baker who prepared all the traditional Polish specialties, catered many Polish weddings, and passed on her recipes to her appreciative kids and grandkids. Geraldine was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great and great-great-grandmother and homemaker. She loved family gatherings and traveling with family and friends. An avid collector of Polish pottery, comic books, Beanie Babies, and other items, she was able to bond with individual family members depending on their various interests.
