Born on September 26, 1949, in Milford, Delaware, Nancy was

education. After completing high school, she graduated with the
first nursing class of Wesley College in Dover, Delaware. She went
on to have a distinguished career as a nurse, serving her community
with compassion and expertise for 40 years.
Outside of her professional life, Nancy found joy in the simple
pleasures of life. She was an avid gardener, finding peace and
satisfaction in nurturing her plants. She also loved camping and
traveling, playing and watching sports, and creating tasting
memories with family and friends. Nancy's beloved dog, Oliver, held
a special place in her heart and was a constant companion.
Nancy is survived by her devoted husband of 52 years, Eugene L.
Geiger, their children, Brian Geiger and Lauren Geiger, and
grandson Noah Ross (Brandon Ross). Her sister Janice Geiger and
husband Fritz Geiger of Millsboro, Delaware. Janice's son Steve
Brittingham, wife Kristin and daughter Alyssa of Laurel, Delaware.

her brother in law Joseph Geiger (Marilyn), her sister in law Barbara
Kennedy and many aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews. As well as
her close friends Leonard and Shirley Bacon and her life long friend
