Daughter of Daniel and Maude (Miller) Fingerle, was born February 6, 1924, in Flint, Michigan. She passed away at 6:10 p.m. on November 22, 2021 at the age of 97.

On September 5th, 1940, she was married to Robert D. Geiser. Together they shared the joys and sorrows of life for over 66 years and were blessed with two children.

She leaves to mourn her passing: daughter, Diane and Galen Long; daughter-in-law, Linda Geiser; seven grandchildren and their companions: Jeff and Darlene Geiser, Rodney and Valerie Geiser, Rhonda and Martin Hernandez, Coreen and Phillip Garber, Sheriann and Jeff Hoblit, Gary and Jill Long, & Rachelle and Albert Mast; 17 great-grandchildren; 9 great-great grandchildren; a brother Chester Fingerle, a sister, Doris Kelsey, 1 brother-in-law, Max, and Ann Geiser.

Realizing their need for a Savior, Daddy and Mother were baptized on August 17, 1941 and became members of the Old German Baptist Brethren Church. She remained faithful unto the Lord until her death.

Our precious memories of grandma include traveling, camping, fishing, many games, cookies in the freezer, lots of love and contagious laughter. We’ve been inspired and encouraged watching grandma conquer the fears of living alone. She taught us by example about joyful contentedness, patience, kindness, and caring for others.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. 2Timothy 4:7
