She lived in Irvington before becoming a long-time resident of Kearny, NJ with her loving husband Anthony of 40 years. There they raised their beautiful family together making a lifetime of memories. In 2008, they moved to Woodbridge where they resided for nine years before Anthony’s passing in 2017. After Anthony’s passing, Gerri moved to Bayville, NJ to be with family.

From there she worked at various companies until becoming a leasing agent for Middlesex Management in 2007.

Geraldine is predeceased by her loving husband, Anthony (Tony) Nutile, her parents Doris (Dottie) Hague and Michael Albruzzese and her amazing grandson Allen Smith Jr., her sister, Dianne Marchuk, her brother John Engleman and many friends.

To know Gerri and all the roles she held in life…daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, friend…then you would already know that she was a very strong woman. She persevered in everything she did and while it may have seemed she had a tough exterior at times, she always had a loving, humorous, gentle, caring core. Her heart overflowed with love for her family. She raised her children to be resilient (like her) and face diversity with strength and courage ( like she had to at a young age). And that is exactly what they do. She loved her family fiercely and without reserve. Her pride and joys though were her treasured grandchildren. She made sure to try to make their sporting events and be their biggest cheerleader (and critic).

She will be sorely missed by everyone that knew her. We Love You. You will be missed forever. Until we meet again….
