Geri graduated from Dominican High School in Detroit, and soon after began working as an administrator at AMT Corporation in Troy. On September 19, 1964, in Detroit, Geri married the love of her life, Joseph Carroll Sr. and they started a family in Grosse Pointe, eventually having three children together.

They built a vacation home in Charlevoix on Lake Michigan in 1976 and moved there permanently when they retired.

She loved spending time with her grandchildren any chance she could, which included cooking and baking their favorite meals and desserts. She also enjoyed tending to her flower gardens, reading, and traveling around the US over the years with Joe. Geri was a devoted and supportive wife, mother, sister, aunt, nana and friend and is known for her caring, loving soul.
