Elizabeth Geiger Obituary
FERN PARK, FL: Elizabeth "Liz" Mary Yanoschek Geiger, 86 of Fern Park, FL passed away May 16.
She was born July 29, 1924 in Dickinson, ND but grew up in Mansfield where she attended St. Peter's Catholic Church and school. She eventually met and married Bob on his return from WWII. Liz was most happy when involved with her family, enjoying years as a Scout leader and home-room mother. She loved bingo, bowling, and (under duress) camping. Bob was transferred by Lumbermen's Mutual Insurance Co. in 1969 to Orlando Florida where Liz continued her volunteerism at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church in Altamonte Springs and with the Catholic Volunteers. She was so proud of her nine grandchildren & five great-grandchildren who always found a welcome hug, games and snacks when visiting Grandma.
Liz is survived by her husband of 64 years; and children, Tim (Brenda) of TN and in FL by John (Ellen), Susan Werly (Steve) and Ed (Tara).
She is preceded in death by her parents; and two sisters, Sue Reiser & Eva Loris; and will be missed by her surviving sister, Kate Prinz.
In lieu of flowers contributions may be made in her name to the Catholic Volunteers in Florida, PO Box 536476, Orlando, FL 32853. To honor her further please perform an act of kindness in her memory.
