Geraldine was born De-

cember 30, 1944, the

daughter of Wilbert M.

Minot. Geri was raised in

the Burlington area and

graduating from Minot

High School in 1963.

Charles “Chuck” Olson

and “Geri” Vise were pro-

nounced man and wife

and for more than 48

years, through sickness

and health, they were also

one. This union was

blessed with four sons,

Todd Oliver, Ritchie

Wayne, Nickolas James,

and Joseph Monore.

She had various jobs;

working at her father’s lit-

tle grocery, also the

Howdy Cafe and the Dels-

maskin Drive-in Burling-

ton; Minot’ KFC north and

south and for Trinity

Nursing Home before re-

tiring in 2010 due to ill-

ness. Each job was re-

warding to her because of

the wonderful people she

met and the great people

she worked for and with.

She was especially

blessed while working as

a CNA, caring for others

at the nursing home. She

missed the residents of 4
