Jodean “Jody” Cocklin Germanaro, age 73, passed from her earthly life Saturday, April 5, 2025 at Lower Cape Fear LifeCare in Wilmington.
She was born May 30, 1951 in St. Petersburg, Florida, the daughter of the James Cocklin and Georgia Henthorn Cocklin, who both preceded Jody in death.
Jody is survived by her husband, Victor “Vic” Allen Germanaro; sons, James Doss and Johnny Collins; several grandchildren; several great grandchildren; and sisters, Valarie Martin and Peggy James (Bob).
Jody was an excellent brick mason for 25 years. After her brick laying years, she was a devoted caregiver for the same person for over 20 plus years. She was a very loyal and caring lady.
Jody loved the outdoors – fishing both fresh water and salt water, camping in State Parks and the mountains, and spending time at the beach. What a wonderful time Jody and Vic had together. Vic always did the cooking and Jody enjoyed eating his delicious meals. There is an empty place at their table and in Vic’s heart.
