Geraldine McWeeney
(née Kyle)

Geraldine Kyle McWeeney, age 76, of Derry, Ireland, passed away on April 21, 2024 with her husband by her side. Her rebellious, loving, generous, and ridiculously funny nature will be missed by many. Geraldine is survived by Tony, her husband of 55 years, her eldest son, Gerry, and daughter Maureen (Steve). She also leaves behind her most beloved grandchildren: Claire, Grace, Dillon, Conor, Emily, Sarah, and Abby. In addition, she is survived by her siblings, Terence (Shirley), Brian (Sally) and Kathleen (Mike), and many cherished nieces and nephews including Kerry, Robert, Colm, Megan, Sean, Sarah, Stephen, Brian, Suzanne and Fiona.

Geraldine had the good fortune of having life long friends who loved her dearly and whom she adored and cherished. The McWeeney Family wishes to thank the many family and friends who called and visited her, and expressed their love to her before her passing.

She is now reunited with her son, Anthony, parents Gerry and Celine Kyle, and sister Ann of Derry City. She will be buried in her home country of Ireland with her son, Anthony.

Geraldine opened the Seal Beach Drive-In Dairy with her husband before embarking on a successful career as a realtor and property manager. Geraldine and Tony raised their family in Costa Mesa, and upon retirement moved to Mexico followed by adventures in Northern California where they spent time with grandkids while reconnecting with a vibrant Irish community in Petaluma. However, Seal Beach drew them back, and their time here was an opportunity to reconnect with lifelong friends, and loving family including many cousins who brought joy and laughter to their lives.

A Celebration of Life will be held in late summer at St. Anne's Church in Seal Beach, California where she and her husband exchanged vows 55 years ago.
