Jeraldine Daus Obituary (1933 - 2025) - Lake Havasu City, Arizona

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the departure of our dearly beloved, Jeraldine Daus, who passed away peacefully on March 30, 2025. Jeraldine was a beacon of love and support, bringing warmth and compassion to all who knew her. Born on March 19, 1933, in Redvale, Colorado, she lived a life full of grace, resilience, and unending love. Jeraldine was a woman of elegance, always emanating a sense of propriety and decorum. She was the embodiment of the adage, "A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water." Her strength was only matched by her love for her family, particularly her son, Michael Daus, and her late husband, with whom she shared 50 years of cherished memories. Her compassionate heart extended beyond her family and friends, reaching out to even the smallest creatures at the dog park, where she loved to spend time watching the dogs play. Her favorite color, mauve, was a reflection of her gentle and nurturing spirit. She took delight in the simple pleasures of life, such as breakfasts and walks with her son, car rides to the lake, and the serene tranquility of nature. Jeraldine’s accomplishments were numerous, but what she held closest to her heart was her time at NASA, where she retired after years of dedicated service. Her contributions to the space agency were truly remarkable and serve as a testament to her diligence and perseverance. She was a woman of substance, etching her mark in a field dominated by men, and inspiring many others with her dedication and resolve. Jeraldine was preceded in death by her dear parents, Lloyd and Helen Rogers. She is survived by her loving son, Michael Daus, who was the center of her universe and the apple of her eye. She has left behind a legacy of love, strength, and courage that will continue to inspire us all. As we bid farewell to our beloved Jeraldine, we invite you to share your cherished memories and photographs of her on the memorial page. Let us together celebrate the extraordinary life of this remarkable woman who touched our hearts and graced our lives. Her spirit will continue to live on in our memories, guiding us with her unwavering love and compassion.
