    GEIGER, Jean

    Jean passed away peacefully on January 16, 2014 at Fairview Mennonite Home. She was predeceased by her brother Willard and wife Ilah and her brother Jim and first wife Sylvia and second wife Sheila. Jean will be greatly missed by her nieces and nephews Jane and George Cordiner, Jerry Geiger, Joy Geiger and Charles Whitlock, Ruth Curran, Barbara and Kate Geiger. She will be fondly remembered by her great-nieces and nephews Daryl and Janelle Cordiner, Suzanne and Chad Curran and Anna Geiger-Whitlock. Born in Alberta in 1921 to Jerry Geiger and Rose (Thaler), Jean was brought to Ontario as a young child and spent her childhood in Kitchener and Breslau. Jean's career began as a bank teller at the Waterloo Trust in Kitchener and continued in Toronto. Jean spent ten wonderful years in India with the Mennonite Central Committee and the Missionary Church. She later became Dean of Women at Emmanuel Bible College and finished her career at Young's Jewelry store in Kitchener. Jean was an adventurer. She was on the last ship through the Suez Canal before the 1956 crisis. In India she took train trips from the southern tip to the Himalayan Mountains, rolling out her bedroll at night and sleeping with the other passengers. Closer to home, she took the train to the Rocky Mountains and a favourite destination was always Algonquin Park. Jean's gifts of laughter, story telling, letter writing, hospitality and generosity helped her develop and sustain many wonderful friendships around the world. Jean's service to others ranged from knitting dolls for charities to book keeping for church organizations to providing meals and support to many friends and family. Jean's last years were spent at Fairview Mennonite Home. Her family wishes to thank the Fairview team including administrators and front line care givers for their kindness and support. Cremation has occurred. A memorial service and reception will take place in the auditorium at Fairview Mennonite Home on Wednesday, January 29, 2014 at 2 p.m. If desired, memorial donations can be made to Women's Ministries of Bethany Missionary Church or the Canadian Arthritis Society and can be arranged through the Erb & Good Family Funeral Home , 171 King St. S., Waterloo, at www.erbgood.com or 519-745-8445.
