Geraldine Elana ?Gigi? Traina, 40, of Davie Florida, passed away August 20, 2005, in Miami Beach after a brave struggle with a long debilitating illness. Born in Miami where she lived her entire life, she earned a Bachelor O Science Degree in nursing from her beloved Alma Mater, Florida State University. Later in the 1990?s she went on to obtain her Master of Science Degree in business from Nova Southeastern University. Upon graduation in 1998, she entered the business world. Gigi enjoyed a lengthy career both in nursing and in the pharmaceutical industry, and will be remembered for her loyal and dedicated work.
