Geraldine Massey Clark, 80 of Bruce passed from this life on April 12, 2020, at her home in the Mt. Moriah community. Born on December 30, 1939, in Bruce, Geraldine was a daughter to the late Forrest Winnon Massey and Corrine Bratton Massey.
Geraldine was a one of kind woman she, like the rest of her generation knew the value of hard work in every aspect of life.

A celebrated master gardener, Geraldine spent many hours volunteering to beautify her community and expanding her already vast knowledge of plants. She was an active member of Mt.
