Geraldine Louise Rodibaugh (Jeri Lou), 85, departed for her next adventure on June 15, 2022. A beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, she leaves behind husband (Robert), daughter (Jennifer) and grandson (Robbie). Jeri Lou was born September 18, 1936, to Alice Ruth and Robert Wagstaff. She graduated from high school in Cambridge, Ohio and earned her bachelor's and master's degrees from Muskingum College, Middlebury College, and Wright State University. She taught English, literature, and humanities at Elyria High School and Ypsilanti High School for nearly thirty years and traveled widely throughout Europe and Africa during her summer vacations. After marrying Robert on November 22, 1980, they adopted Jennifer in March 1983. Jeri Lou's nurturing efforts enabled her daughter Jennifer to become a proficient cook, lover of music and Shakespeare, and most importantly a good person. Jeri Lou was her husband's favorite companion for 42 years and accompanied him, along with Jennifer, on numerous vacations, and to sports events, concerts, church, family gatherings, and anything suggested that might be remotely fun. A lifelong member of the Methodist church, she served as organist and children's vocal and bell choir director at the First United Methodist Church in Monroeville, Pennsylvania. After moving to Farmington Hills, she taught Sunday school and bible study classes and substituted as church organist at the Farmington church. She also was a substitute teacher at several middle schools and high schools, and she tutored Japanese children and adults in English, reading, and conversation. Jeri Lou was loved by all and loved everyone. She made people comfortable and appreciated with her cheery greetings, contagious smile, and willingness to engage in stimulating conversations that often involved her relevant life experiences or topics of mutual importance. She even had enough goodwill to root for both Ohio State and Michigan. Her loss is incalculable.
