Geraldine (Gerri) Alvarez, 66, of Point Pleasant, passed away on February 17, 2020.
Born in NYC on November 21, 1953 to Nicholas and Gertrude Benetatos, Gerri spent most of her life in Hoboken before moving to Point Pleasant in 2018 and made many friends from her years working in Hoboken’s original Blimpie Base. Gerri enjoyed her rock & roll, dancing, taking 5 mile walks/jogs to the Manasquan inlet and back, spending time on the beach, and swimming in her pool. Gerri showed her heart in 40 years of preparing Thanksgiving dinner for over 30 family and friends.
Gerri rejoins her beloved parents, her siblings, Barbara Brown, Michael Benetatos, and Thomas Harrigan, and her nephew Stephen Aquino in the hearts of her family. Her memory will be honored by her loving husband of 49 years, Victor, her dear son, Jason and his wife Vicki, her siblings, Nicolette Aquino (Steve), Elizabeth Wyble (David), and Andrew Vinas (Bouchra), and many nieces and nephews.
A memorial for Geraldine will be held at the Hoboken Elks Lodge on Sunday, March 8, 2020 at 2:00 PM.

Victor and Jason and family,
I am so sorry for your loss! I was shocked to hear this. She was a nice lady and great neighbor for many years. My deepest condolences to you and your family!
I met Gerry in 1962 when I just began dating her sister & my future wife Nikki. I remember every minute of our first meeting. Never realizing we were destined to be family & her being my Baby “SISTER” in law forever more.
Gerry would never let trivial matters upset her & NEVER had a bad word about anyone!!! Thanksgiving was always celebrated at Gerry & Victor’s, hosting our whole family & many friends. I LOVED being at Gerry & Victor’s on Thanksgiving & LOOKED FORWARD to being there every year. Thanksgiving will NEVER be the same with out Gerry!!!!!!!!!!! I for one of many AM DEVASTATED BY HER PASSING!!!
I didn’t see her as much as I now wish I did but I loved her as much as ANY brother loved his sister!!!!! I know she’s in heaven “TOASTING HER ARRIVAL” with our passed family & friends!!! Love you MORE Gerry!!!!!!!!!!!! Stevie Aquino
Gerri was always a welcome face. She exuded happiness and made everyone around her a little happier. I know I will miss seeing her ever-present smile and her infectious laugh. Vic and Jason remain in my prayers.
May you rest in the sweetest peace Gerri… gone way to soon but our talks and your sweet giggle will always be remembered. Thanks for being such a great mother in law to my sister Vicki. I know she cherished your friendship. And Vic and Jay may all your memories with your wife and mother fill the void of her passing. Always remember the love.
So sorry for your loss, God Bless her sole and may god bless you all in this tuff time.
