Geraldine E. (Mallison) Bergeron

Geraldine E. Bergeron passed away on Thursday April 18, 2024 at home after a period of declining health.

She was born and raised in Lawrence, MA, daughter of the late George and Margaret (McKenna) Mallinson. She graduated from Methuen High School in 1954. After graduation, she worked at the telephone company for a number of years.

She enjoyed going to the local dances at the Commodore in Lowell, MA and this is where she met her late husband, George P. Bergeron. She was a stay at home mother until her children were in school. Then she worked part time in many retail department stores. The running joke in the family was that she was responsible for Mammoth Mart, Zayres, Kings, and Yankee Bargain stores going out of business.

Gerry was an avid reader and enjoyed daily crossword puzzles that were always done in ink. She faithfully watched Jeopardy and Deadline: White House on MSNBC. Many times she answered the final jeopardy question correctly.

She is survived by her daughters, Amy Bergeron and Beth Bergeron; and son, Steven Bergeron. She is also survived by three grandsons, Brent Bergeron, Bryan James Bergeron, and Sean Blaisdell and his fiancée, Kayla Nelson. Additional survivors are her sisters: Maureen O’Neil and Jane Moffatt and sister-in-law Jarlath Fournier and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents and her husband, she was predeceased by her brother, John Mallinson, and son-in-law, Michael McCann.

She loved all her grand dogs: Murphy, Remi, Cheech, and Sage.

We would like to thank the Hospice staff at Beth Israel Lahey Health at Home for their compassion and support during the last two months, especially her primary caregivers, Janet and Julianna.

Gerry requested that there be no formal services. Arrangements were by Paul C. Rogers Family Funeral Homes, 2 Hillside Avenue, Amesbury, MA.
