Courtney Lonergan

9/29/1975 - 6/10/2021

Heartbreak, devastation and unfathomable sadness is reverberating throughout the community following a tragic car accident that caused the untimely death of three incredibly beautiful souls. Courtney Lonergan age 45, Ali Geer age 18 and Almira Geer age 16 passed on to eternal paradise, leaving behind the youngest child, Aracelli Geer age 13 who is lovingly surrounded by extended family and friends.

Courtney was a Cultural Anthropologist, Master Facilitator, ASU professor, diversity trainer, youth development mentor, catalyst for change, and a passionate supporter of humanity, the arts and human movements of every kind. Her soul and spirit shined bright in every moment, in everything she did, and through her three amazing children. Courtney, Ali, Almira and Aracelli welcomed visitors with generous smiles and warm hugs - including people from every imaginable faith, culture, ethnicity, identification; their home was a respite, free of judgement and full of celebration every single day - at every given moment.

Known and celebrated throughout the state and beyond for her depth of knowledge and skills for facilitating diverse groups through conflict, planning, strategies and visioning, Courtney had endless patience and was truly accepting of every viewpoint. She instilled real hope and healing, invited open and honest dialogue, and shared her gifts through a multitude of training and community programs. Those who participated in her trainings strive to take her wisdom and pay it forward.
