Nance Geiger

Nance was a wonderful woman. I first met her when she did a Counseling Internship at LeMoyne College's Upward Bound Program. Her strength and compassion and cultural competency will remain her legacies. My deepest condolences to Howard and their family...May her memory be a blessing.

I don't remember the first time I met Nance as well as not remembering when she began calling me 'sweetie'.
Nance was my neighbor and friend and interwoven into my family's lives.
When I moved into my husband's house, I was welcomed into a beautiful and supportive network of community and daily rhythms. Planting, tending and harvesting vegetable gardens...seed parties and plant consultations, evening walks, and impromptu chats, waking to find Nance choosing and cutting her flower bouquet from my front yard, my husband planting sunflowers under her window because she loved them, and it attracted her birds she loved so much to watch, I loved that she knew more about my dog's backyard antics than I did, Nance started a neighborhood book club that was ongoing for maybe 12 years and Nance always read the book!
Nance was there in the middle of the night to stay with my daughter when I had to rush my husband to the hospital. I love that my tough and boisterous husband would check would check with Nance about his new plans for the yard and house and be very aware of ' what Nance would like...and/or allow.
There is so much more, but mostly what I will forever love and remember is that my reserved and quiet friend always called me 'sweetie.'

I am so sorry. Nance was wonderful person. She got me started on my swim coaching career. My condolences to Heather, Steven and Howard and family.

I am not exaggerating when I say that Nance changed my life when I was her student at Henninger in the 80s. Her influence remains with me still. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am honored to have known Nance and to have taken care of her. She was a very special lady. She will always have a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I have the most wonderful memories of Nance in our HS counseling circles back in the day. I always loved seeing her and working with her. She was the best and I'll never forget her. Love and support to Howard and her whole family>
