Nancy Geary Obituary

Nancy Ann Geary, born on March 10, 1947, departed from this world on March 24, 2026, leaving behind a legacy with warmth and creativity. From her earliest years, Nancy was a vibrant presence, known to all who knew her for her colorful personality that brightened every room she entered.

Her working life was deeply connected to her family roots. From her early teens, Nancy worked closely alongside her father, Marion Noble, at Ponderosa Produce. This shared endeavor was not just a job but a meaningful chapter in her life where dedication and family ties intertwined. Later, she went on to contribute her talents to Mother’s Cookies, demonstrating her strong work ethic and commitment.

Nancy's passions extended beyond her professional life. She found immense joy in gardening, cultivating flowers with a tender care that reflected her nurturing spirit. The earth seemed to respond to her touch, and her garden bloomed as brilliantly as the smile she wore so often. In addition, Nancy loved the arts—spending her time with ceramics and painting, she channeled her vivid imagination and gentle soul into creations that spoke of beauty and tender introspection.  She also had a great love for animals. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Marion and Bernice Noble and her daughter, Leslie Noble.

Nancy leaves to cherish her memories, her siblings, Linda (Gus) Harman, Larry Noble and Kathy Flamm; niece and nephew, Stacey Zocklein and Chris Flamm.

Throughout her life, Nancy Ann Geary was a beacon of color and vitality, a woman whose spirit enriched the lives she touched. Though she has passed, the vibrancy of her life, the bloom of her gardens, and the strokes of her brush will remain enduring testaments to her unique and cherished presence. She will be remembered with deep affection and admiration by all who had the privilege to know her.
