Geraldine McCann

Geraldine Anne (Weicker) McCann, 88, of Hopkinton passed away May 26. She was the loving wife of the late John Joseph McCann Jr. Gerry was a longtime resident of North Attleboro.

Born in Jamestown, Rhode Island, on June 26, 1934, she was the daughter of the late Paul Weicker and the late Josephine (O’Connor) Weicker.

A graduate of Brown University, Gerry earned her bachelor’s degree in fine arts as an English major. During her working years, she was a teacher and later worked in the banking industry. Her children consider themselves fortunate that she also spent many years being a homemaker.

Gerry enjoyed traveling with her husband, “Bud,” spending time with her children and grandchildren, and sharing many special holidays with relatives and friends. She had a love for theatre and was an avid reader and crossword puzzle enthusiast.

Faith was an important part of Geraldine’s life. She was an active communicant at St. Mark’s Parish in North Attleboro. She also was a Eucharistic minister and lector at the church, enjoying sharing the word of the Lord with her fellow parishioners.

Left to mourn her loss are her sons, John J. (Jack) McCann III and wife Mary Ellen of Londonderry, New Hampshire; William J. (Bill) McCann and wife Jane of Collegeville, Pennsylvania; and Patrick V.
