Geraldine Rauschert-Henderson

November 25, 1947 — February 24, 2025

Stamford, CT

 Geraldine A. Rauschert-Henderson, a resident of Stamford, CT, passed away after her courageous battle with stage 3 lung cancer; she was 77 years old. She was born on November 25, 1947 in Manhattan, New York. At an early age she moved out.

 Geraldine worked as a bookkeeper for several years for the Hudson Valley Developmental Disabilities Service Office of Letchworth Village in Thiells, NY; until retiring. It was there she met Stephen Henderson in 1990.

 On November 14, 1993 in New Rochelle, NY, she married Stephen. Two-years after their marriage, her health started a toll and her leg needed amputation, due to a blood disorder. Throughout her Life she had had many obstacles to overcome; many of her friends, coworkers and anyone who knew her have seen her as a great sense of inspiration.

 With all the loss and obstacles in her life, she still found great enjoyments; she was an avid NY Yankee fan, loved rooting for Derek Jeter and Aaron Judge. She also loved her feline companions, a big cat lover.

 Sadly again she suffered another loss, her son Frederick Rauschert passed away in April of 2018. She was also predeceased by two of three great friends, Barbara and Sherry.

 Along with her husband of almost 32-years Stephen Henderson, Geraldine is survived by a dear friend Susan, and several other dear friends. She is also survived by other close family friends, the Rauscherts, the Jaconos, the Santucci, the St. John & Salinger families.

 Her Family will gather with Friends to honor and celebrate her Life on Sunday, March 2, 2025 from 4-8PM at the BALLARD-DURAND FUNERAL HOME, 2 Maple Avenue, White Plains, New York, where a Celebration of Life will be offered at 6:30PM. A Committal Service will be held 11AM on Monday, March 3, 2025 at the Rosewood Mausoleum in the Ferncliff Cemetery 280 Secor Road, Hartsdale, New York.
