Mary Geer
November 2, 1918 — November 2, 2016
Mary Mildred Sims Geer, age 98, passed away on her birthday, Tuesday, November 2, 2016 at her home with her loving family surrounding her.
Grandma loved her family and friends dearly. She adored her husband Wesley. She loved her kids and grandkids. Actually, she loved kids in general. She was a very hard worker. She loved to put out a huge garden and hand quilt beautiful quilts. She loved to go fishing. She never wanted to let one get away... even to the point of jumping in the pond! She was such a generous person, always ready to share what she had with others. She was so young at heart. Even when she was on up in years, she never thought she was old! She loved to talk. It seemed she never met a stranger. She will be deeply missed by everyone who loved her!
