Obituary For Mrs. Geraldine Troutman 78

When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me. I want no rites in a gloom filled room Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not for long and not with your head bowed low Remember the love that once we shared Miss me but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take, and each must go alone. It's all part of the master plan A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart Go to the friends we know. Laugh at all the things we used to do Miss me but let me go.

Geraldine Troutman was born February 15, 1944, to the late Corine Smith and Nelson Lashore. She opened her arms and embraced our Heavenly Father October 17, 2022, surrounded by her loving family.

Mrs. Geraldine, also known as β€œSilver Fox”, was employed by the Valdosta City School Transportation System for over 40 years. She gave her life to Christ at an early age and was a long time and dedicated member of St. Peter A.M.E., where she also sang in the choir.

Mrs. Geraldine was preceded in death by her late husband, Will W. Troutman Sr., Father; Nelson Lashore, Stepmother; Maggie Lashore, Mother-in-law; Jewel Troutman; Sisters, Ada Lane, Emma Ward, and Louise Hamilton; brothers, Eddie Lashore, Alford Lashore, and Cornelius Lashore, Sisters in law, Jo Anne Troutman, Minnete Hill, Jackie Boyd and Ann Wooten: Brothers in laws, Herbert and Jerry Troutman.

She leaves to cherish her beautiful memories, three loving children: Will (Angela) Troutman Jr. (San Antonio, TX), Gregory Troutman (Augusta, GA), Tracy (Katie) Troutman (Augusta, Ga.); four beautiful grandchildren: Shakira Troutman (Jay) (Miami, FL), Ashley (Allen) Jones (San Antonio, TX), Christian and Brandon Troutman (Augusta, GA), Great grandchildren: Alana and Alijah Jones (San Antonio, TX.) One sister; Tommie Nell McMillan and three sisters in law; Lois (IB) Robinson (Adel, GA), Linda (Eddie) Nelson (Titusville, FL), Betty Lashore (Homerville, GA): Best friend; Josie Moore (Valdosta, GA), and a very big host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Our deepest condolences go out to her family, friends, and community. No one can prepare for a loss; it comes like a swift wind. However, take comfort in knowing that she is now resting in the arms of our Lord:

Geraldine's Life will be Remembered, and Honored, by family, friends and the Valdosta Community on Saturday, October 22, 2022, at 11:00 AM from Crossing Jordan Baptist Church - 1401 Cypress Street.

Burial will follow in the Sunset Hill Cemetery.
