Mary Ann Geer

Ann was born on January 14, 1939, in Equinunk, Pennsylvania, to Ernest and Florence Layton. After graduating from Hancock Central School, she attended Ridley-Lowell Business and Technical Institute in Binghamton, New York. She later married her high school sweetheart, Carl Milo Geer, and together they raised their five children while Ann helped run the family business, Carl’s Electric, for many years.

Ann was a member of Emory United Methodist Church in Hancock, New York; Lady Lake United Methodist Church; and St. Andrew’s United Methodist Church in Winter Park, Florida. Throughout her life, she found joy in serving others and being involved in her community. While raising her family, she volunteered as both a Boy Scout and Girl Scout leader and served for several years on the Hancock Central School Board of Education and as a member of the PTA. After retiring to Florida, she enjoyed participating in the Red Hat Society.

Ann treasured time spent with family and friends, sharing countless laughs while playing games and cards and working on puzzles. She especially enjoyed the friendships she made with fellow residents at Sandpiper Glen in Orlando, Florida, where many happy memories were made.

Ann was preceded in death by her husband, Carl Geer; parents, Ernest Layton and Florence Mae Hathaway Layton; her stepmother, Mildred Layton; her sister, Glenneth Romaine Layton Kellam; and her brothers, Lavern Layton (Joan) and Richard Layton (Bonnie).

She is survived by her five children: Deborah Geer; Cheryl Parrington (Ron); Bryan Geer (Monica); Cynthia Geer Swope (Jack); and Carla Newman (Art). She also leaves behind seven beloved grandchildren: Keith Hazen; Cristin Thomsen (Ross); Catherine Hazen; Ronald Parrington; Eduard Parrington; Calvin Geer; and Lakin Geer (Annika).

Additional survivors include her brother, Bradley Layton (Joann); her brothers-in-law, David Geer (Linda) and Raymond Wormuth; and several nieces and nephews.

In accordance with Ann’s wishes, private arrangements will be shared with family and close friends at a later date.
