Edward Geier

Edward "Ed" Geier, 95, passed away on May 28, 2022, at Chase County Hospital, Imperial. Ed was born March 27, 1927, in Duncan, to Martin and Elizabeth (Hoffman) Geier. He moved from Duncan with his family at the age of five to the farm west of Culbertson. Ed fully retired at 93 and moved to Kinship Point Assisted Living in McCook. On Jan. 29, 1950, Ed married the love of his life, Berneita Edwards, in Culbertson. They resided on the family farm and raised their five children: Pam, Teresa, Mike, Randy and Steve. Ed was diligent and creative, which served him well throughout his life. He took great pride in his corn crops, welding skills, everyday tasks and many inventions. For over 50 years he custom harvested wheat and corn for area farmers. Although his hands were full, he still found time for the recreational sport of local boxing matches. The greatest enjoyment in his life was spending time with his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and extended family. Ed was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Berneita; his son, Steven; his sister, Freida Galetti; brothers-in-law, Jim Galetti, Alvere (Butch) Frecks and Kirk Crowell. Ed is survived by his four loving children, daughters, Pamula (Rod) Ochsner and Teresa (Philip) Pierce and sons, Michael Geier and Randy (Kathy) Geier; his brother, Richard (Marilyn) Geier; sisters, Pauline Frecks and Virginia Crowell; nine grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. A memorial has been established in Ed's memory for later designation. Online condolences may be shared at herrmannfh.com.
