The White Mountain Independent,
Show Low, Arizona ~ 10/06/2006

Geraldine L. Fagan, 88, longtime resident of Alpine, died Sept. 27, 2006. 

She was born in Gallup, N.M. to Gerald and Edna (Haug) Farmer. She graduated from 
Phoenix Union High School where she met her beloved husband, John J. Fagan, Jr. 
They dated on horseback in the north central Phoenix area before he proposed to her 
on top of Squaw Peak Mountain. They were married 55 years until his death in 1992.

An athletic and independent child, she was the only girl on the neighborhood baseball 
team. She loved roller-skating, horseback riding, fishing, camping, canoeing and hot 
air ballooning. She was an accomplished artist and an avid gardener. At 85 years, she 
chased off a bear with a BB gun.

Geraldine worked as a secretary for many years, but her most important job was being 
a loving wife and mother, who spent a great deal of high quality time with her family.

Geraldine is survived by her brother, James Hagen of Payson; daughter, Jeri Kirkhuff 
of Queen Creek; sons, Mike of Tigard, Ore. and Patrick of Phoenix; grandsons, Clint 
Jones of Maricopa, Jake Fagan of La Grande, Ore.; granddaughters, Becky Craig of 
Crestview, Fla., Lori O' Neill of Rapid City, S.D.; and three lively great-grandchildren.
