Geraldine A. Yingling, Kaukauna, age 66, died at her home on August 22, 2021. She was born in Appleton, to the late Gerald and Wilma (Grapentine) Vanderloop, on October 30, 1954. After graduating from Kaukauna High School, Geraldine married the love of her life, Jeff Yingling, who preceded her in death last August, on March 22, 1974, in Kaukauna. She loved driving her motorcycle, being up north, and anything to do with ice cream. But her favorite thing was spending time with her family, especially her grandkids, as they were her everything.

Gerri is survived by her children: Jenny (Rob) Frelich, Kaukauna; and Phillip (Erica) Yingling, Appleton; her grandchildren: Robby (Nessa) Frelich; Brandon Frelich; and Vaughn, Wyatt, Marshall, Ascher, and Cooper Yingling. She is further survived by her siblings: Pat (Dave) Doering; Bill (Denise) Vanderloop; Teresa (Jeff) Robinson; Jim (Sue) Vanderloop; and Mary (Paul) Dobbert; her brothers-in-law: Scott (Geri) Yingling; and Todd (Kendra) Yingling; close friends John and Kay Zornow; and good friend Mary for sending smiles from miles away.

In addition to her parents, Geraldine is preceded in death by her loving husband of 46 years, Jeff; and her parents-in-law, Don and Mary Yingling.

A party in Gerri's honor will be held at W2248 Weyers Rd. in Kaukauna on Saturday, August 28, 2021, from 2:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to ThedaCare Cancer and Hospice staff, especially Daisy and Sam.
