In Loving Memory of

Gerry Banham

28th September 1953 - 7th March 2026

Geraldine Mary Banham was born on September 28, 1953, at Bethlehem Hospital in Gardenvale to Thomas and Joan Grant.
She later met the love of her life, Peter Banham, and they married at age 27, building a loving family together and welcoming Rachel, Michael and Lauren.
Geraldine worked as an Activity Therapist, dedicating herself to caring for others.
5 years ago she moved from the family home in Davey street to her dream home in Bonbeach.
She became a proud grandmother, “Gezza” to Jackson in 2023 and Bailey Star in 2025.
Deeply loved by family and friends, Geraldine will be greatly missed and forever remembered.
We invite you to honour her by sharing a memory or reflection on the guest book link below.
To celebrate Geraldine’s vibrant and beautiful spirit, we invite guests to wear colour in her honour.
