Marjorie Geesaman Obituary
January 19, 1933 - September 23, 2024
Marjorie ("Pixie") Geesaman passed away September 23 after a full life and a brief illness. Marjorie was born in Worcester, Ma. on January 19, 1933 to Raymond S. and Beatrice H. Worth and grew up in Worcester, Baltimore, Md., and Trenton, N.J.
At Gettysburg College she received a BS with honors in Chemistry and met the love of her life, Frank ("Red") Geesaman. Pixie and Red's adventurous spirits took them to Monterey, California (and later, Gardnerville, NV) where they made their home. She earned an MBA and worked for many years in marketing at McGraw-Hill in the educational testing division. Pixie and Red particularly enjoyed friends and time together with the Pebble Beach Sports Car Club, and piloting small planes and hot-air balloons. Life was to be experienced and enjoyed.
Pixie returned east in 2018 to be closer to family and to share her kind and generous nature. She was predeceased by her parents, her husband, and her sister, Shirley W. Michael and is survived by her nephew and nieces, Doug Michael (and Mimi of Conover, NC), Sue Purser (of Boone, NC) and Carolyn Greene (and Dwaine of Boone, NC), by seven great-nieces and nephews and their families, and by life-long friends Paul and Deb Ebert (of Wilmington, NC).
Memorials may be sent to The Salvation Army, to First Presbyterian Church of Newton, or to Faith Lutheran Church of Wilmington.
Pixie will be remembered and missed for her extraordinary sense of gratitude for the many blessings of life, friends and family.

Margie and I were roommates at Gettysburg. She was quiet, thoughtful, and had the best sense of humor. I remember how excited she was when her nephew Douglas was born!
I was a bridesmaid when she and Red were married. They had such a wonderful life together and had so many adventures! Over the years we kept in touch. My last contact with her was after Red had passed and she was living in NC. I'm so sorry to hear of her death.
