In Memoriam
Patricia Geraghty Falligant
Patricia Geraghty Falligant,
90, formerly of Lake
Bluff, died peacefully surrounded
by loving family
on Dec. 31. Raised in Bellaire,
Texas, as an eighteen-year-old
art student,
Falligant won a contest for
a trip to Manhattan where
she lived at the Barbizon
Hotel for Women and
modeled. Preferring the
wholesale side of the fashion
industry, she worked
for Townley Frocks, managing
the showroom for
Claire McCardell who created
American sportswear
and whose clothes today
are in the Metropolitan
Museum of Art.
After six dates in six cities,
she married Derry Osborne
Falligant (d.1993),
her beloved husband of 43
years, returned to Texas,
had three children, studied
art at the University
of Houston, and worked
for Neiman Marcus where
she managed for the four
Marcus brothers for many
years in both Houston and
Northbrook, IL. Always
interested in social justice,
she helped integrate
the sales force of Neiman
Marcus and she and her
husband raised four foster
Native American children
for several years. In retirement
she became a master
gardener and volunteered
at the Chicago Botanic
Garden while maintaining
an extensive cottage garden
of her own. But her
real passion was for her
family, whom she adored,
and for the art and gardening
communities in Lake
Bluff where she lived for
three decades. She painted
and sold in art shows on
the North Shore. An active
member of both Artists
on the Bluff and the
Lake Bluff Garden Club,
she served both in many
capacities including president
while also serving on
civic committees, raising
money for improvement
projects in her village.
With boundless creativity,
style and humor, she used
her strength, energy and
compassion to serve others.

Anderson spent most of
his life in Lake Forest. He
graduated from Lake Forest
High School and went
on to receive a bachelors
and masters degree in Civil
Engineering from Cornell
University (1960). At
Cornell, he was a member
of Chi Psi fraternity. His
entire career was spent as
a principal and vice president
of James Anderson
Company, a fourth generation

company located in Lake
Bluff. Anderson lived in
Lake Forest, and was involved
with his family and
community. Anderson always
cheered on his kids.

family man and will be
greatly missed.
