Geraldine Estella Hannan Winchenbach, 89 of Waldoboro, Maine passed away at her home on November 18, 2020 surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Union Maine on March 23, 1931, the daughter of Vivian & Estella Daris Hannan of Union. Growing up in the small community of Union, she attended local school where she participated in many activities, including being a cheer leader. In 1961 Geraldine attended “Beauty School” in Portland while raising her family and juggling many responsibilities. Soon after graduating, she put out her sign “Gerry’s beauty Salon” and became the neighborhood beautician turning customers into extended family of friends. Geraldine was great at listening to everyone, during the good times and the bad times. She always sent her customers out the door of her shop looking prettier and more encouraged. Some of her favorite hobbies, were making donuts and pies to share at the local fairs and events @ Waldoboro Days. Roller Skating was another past time she enjoyed – while dancing to the music on her skates around the rink. A pair of her skates still hang in the closet, they helped her to recall sweet memories of her younger years. Knitting and Crocheting kept her hands busy making afghans for family members when she wasn’t rolling perms. “Gerry” as she was affectionally known is survived by her daughters Evelyn Shover of Nobleboro, Valerie Winchenbach of Waldoboro, Sons; Reggie Winchenbach (Kathy) of Searsport, Ricky Winchenbach (Brenda) of upper Marlboro, MD., Six grandchildren, thirteen great grandchildren. Many nieces and nephews. A celebration of her life will be held at the Dutch Neck Cemetery with Pastor Tom Rawley @ a later date.
