Geraldine K. "Geri" Murzynski

Geraldine K. Murzynski (Geri), age 83, of Wilmington, Delaware, passed away on Sunday, October 25, 2026, at the AccentCare Hospice Center in Christiana Hospital, following a battle with vascular disease.

Geri was born on May 28, 1943, in Wilmington to Michael and Mary Kasowski. Geri graduated from St. Hedwig High School in 1961.

Geri was a long-time employee of New Castle County. After retirement, she continued to work at the Wilmington Country Club.

Geri was fiercely independent and lived her life on her own terms. She enjoyed playing the slots at the casino, playing Bunco and Bingo, dancing to polish music, spending time with family, and making golumpkies with her daughter Lesa. When it came to tasting the final product, Geri always trusted only her own special tastebuds!

Geri was predeceased by her parents Michael and Mary Kasowski, and her husband’s Isaih J. Thompson and Charles Michael Murzynski (Chase); her daughter Barbara Ann Cutillo; her son Michael Charles Murzynski; her sister Joanne Lukaszewicz and her beloved dog, Mitzi.
