Geraldine Ann Lunetto, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully in Galena, IL, on July 25, 2024, at the age of 70. Born on March 8, 1954, in Chicago, IL, to Howard and Arlayne Spoerlein, Geraldine, known affectionately as “Geri,” led a life filled with love, dedication, and passion.  Geri grew up in Chicago, IL, with her two brothers, Kent and Gary Spoerlein, with whom she shared close and cherished relationships.  Geri’s genuine and original personality was reflected in her diverse interests. Her love for music, her artistic soul expressed through her love for art and coloring, and her remarkable green thumb in gardening were all part of her unique charm. She could spend hours daily nurturing her plants, creating beautiful and vibrant gardens that brought joy to all who saw them. She also loved celebrating birthdays, always finding excuses to bring out the balloons.  Geri was an amazing cook. She was known for her warmth in the kitchen and incredible meals, from pepper steak to tortellini bolognese. Many fond memories were made as she cooked and conversed with loved ones. Geri was a constant source of support and love for her family.  Geri is survived by her loving husband, Joseph Lunetto; her children, Michael (Tammy), Katherine, and Rebecca Lunetto; and her grandchildren, Emelia, Benjamin, and Christian, with another granddaughter expected in January 2025. She is also survived by her brother, Kent (Joyce) Spoerlein. Her father, Howard, mother, Arlayne, and brother, Gary, preceded her in death.  A private family service will be held to honor Geri’s memory. Though she will be deeply missed, her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.  In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor Geri’s memory by a meal with your family, celebrating the little moments, and nurturing your passions, just as she did throughout her life. Your participation in this tribute is a meaningful way to keep her memory alive. The Furlong Funeral Chapel, Galena is assisting the family.
