August 19, 1952 - January 10, 2025

With deep sadness, the family of Geri Karlstrom announce her passing. Following a brief battle with cancer and surrounded by loved ones, Geri's soul left this earth on January 10, 2025, for the safe arms of her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Geri is survived by her husband Ben and sons Dana Baird (Glenis) and Matthew Baird (Kana); her grandchildren Lily, Nico, Solenne and Estelle. She is also survived by her mother, Lorraine Dalman, brother Greg Dalman (Louella), sister Lori Schellenberg, brother Jeff Dalman, mother-in-law Audrey Karlstrom, sister-in-law Donna Karlstrom, brother-in-law Andrew Karlstrom (Gina) and many cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. She was predeceased by her father, Reverend Albert Dalman, in 2006, and her father-in-law Nils Karlstrom in 2022.

Geri was a beautiful person and a joy to be around. She cared deeply about others and was not shy about giving hugs (even to people she had just met). Her love for animals knew few bounds. Her beautiful singing voice and the heartfelt songs she'd written are heard around the world. Her tech expertise as an SEO (search engine optimization) Consultant and business owner successfully spanned the past 25 years, greatly improving Google Search results for her clients in Canada, the U.S. and overseas.

A private graveside service took place on January 27, 2025. An invitation-only Celebration of Life service will be announced at a later date. Geri's family wishes to thank the doctors, nurses and support staff at Melville Hospice Home in Surrey, B.C. — for their kindness, expertise and compassion.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Geri's favourite charity, SamaritansPurse.org.
