Gearldine Westbrook (1919–2016)[1] was an American artist associated with the Gee's Bend group of quilters.
Her in-laws were Fannie and Eddie Westbrook, as well as the known quilter, Amelie Bennet.
Her neighbor, Mensie Lee Pettway was another avid quilter.
[3] Westbrook could trace her lineage back many generations through south western Alabama, including her great-grandfather, who was a Civil War soldier.
Some of her earliest quilts were made from her great-grandfather's overalls, relative's work-uniforms, and old socks.
