Geraldine Chalifour

Geraldine Mae McBride Chalifour was peacefully carried by the angels to her heavenly Father on October 1, 2021 in Livonia, Michigan. She was born on November 15, 1930 in Detroit, Michigan to Ralph John McBride and Myrtle Marie Price McBride. Geri is survived by her loving children Doug and Marianne, Annette and Bill Linn, John and Gloria, Jim and Malinda, and Larry. She is also survived by her grandchildren, whom she adored, Jennifer, Russ, Jeff, Adam, Eric, Kevin, and Heather. In addition, she was “Granny” to 12 great-grandchildren and 5 great-great-grandchildren. She was an Aunt to several nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her special Grandmother Maude, and her siblings Ralph McBride Jr., Betty McBride Fleming, and Irene McBride Newman, as well as her former husband Robert Chalifour. Geri always enjoyed gardening and grew beautiful flowers. She could make anywhere she lived into an inviting and comfortable home for her children and grandchildren to enjoy. She will be missed and remembered with love by all of us. The family would like to thank the staff at American House in Livonia for their care. We also thank SKLD Nursing Facility in Livonia for the compassionate care they provided during this year as well as Heart to Heart Hospice, who gave her an additional level of care during her last two months at SKLD. A special thank you to Anne, her friend and confidant for the past 25 years. A private memorial service will be held at a later date. Please share a memory of Geraldine on her tribute wall.
