*Obituary
Nancy Lorene Geary, 61, was born Feb. 7, 1949, in Anaheim, Calif., and bravely left us Sunday, May 9, 2010, after her long struggle against cancer.

She was kind, generous, sweet and friendly. She was a loving mother, caring sister, devoted daughter and loyal friend. Nancy loved spending time with her family and made many friends due to her outgoing personality and great sense of humor. She had a carefree, happy spirit and was always a joy to be around.

Born and raised in California, Nancy loved spending time outdoors at the beach, swimming, riding bicycles and playing racquetball. When Nancy wasn't spending her time raising her daughter, her pastimes included gardening, house plants, movies and music. As a result of her nurturing and patient nature she had a career as a teacher's aide, educating and supporting both special education high school students and elementary school-age children. After retirement in 1999, Nancy moved to Van Buren to care for her ailing parents and spend time with her sisters. She was a member of First Presbyterian Church of Van Buren and made many new friends. She continued to enjoy swimming, plants and flowers, animals (dogs especially) and new experiences. Nancy will be greatly missed by her family, friends and all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her father and mother, Arthur and Lois Geary.

Memorial service was held 2 p.m. Friday, May 14 at Ocker Memorial Chapel in Van Buren under the direction of Ocker Funeral Home of Van Buren with Jan Enke CLP of First Presbyterian Church of Van Buren presiding.

She is survived by a daughter, Lorene Charles of Long Beach; two sisters, Priscilla Moore and her husband Carl Moore Sr., and Pam Geary all of Van Buren; a sister in-law, Denise Charles of Culver City, Calif.; two nieces, Lois Moore and Rebecka Duff and husband Curtis Duff all of Van Buren; three nephews, Carl Moore Jr. of Van Buren, Andre Charles of San Francisco and Casey Bennett of Culver City, Calif.; a grandniece, Diamond Moore of Van Buren; and a grandnephew, Dillon Moore of Van Buren.
