Geraldine Duncann

9 May 1937 - 18 February 2020

Geraldine Duncann has been described as everything from a renaissance woman to a force of nature. She has never been described as boring.

A life-long proponent of healthy eating and active lifestyle, she is renowned for her health advice which she summarizes as, "Don't eat shit, and get off your ass."

Unfortunately, despite her commitment and wholistic approach to health, she was never able to quit smoking, and developed lung cancer, which metastasized to her bones and lymph system.

Her great fear was that people would think, "Gee, if despite her healthy lifestyle Geraldine still got cancer, what's the sense of even trying?"

The answer is that despite being a smoker most of her adult life, and developing lung cancer as a result, her healthy and active lifestyle kept Geraldine mentally and physically strong into her 80s.
