Obituary

Dorothy Edith Geary, 94, of Lincoln, passed away October 25, 2022, at St. Clara's Manor.

Private family services were held at Holland Barry & Bennett Funeral Home.

Dorothy was born March 24, 1928, in Falls of Rough, KY., the daughter of William Salmon and Beulah (Woosley) Salmon. She married William A. Geary March 10, 1944. He preceded her in death August 12, 1996.

Dorothy never worked outside of the home. She raised seven children and cared for the home. She was an excellent gardener. Because of her green thumb, her home and yard were filled with beautiful plants and flowers of all kinds.

She was a member of Eminence Christian Church in Atlanta for many years and more recently was a member of Lincoln Church of Christ. Dorothy had a strong faith in God and that was evident in her gentle nature.

 

Survivors include her children: Sue Smith, Diane (Ron) Schriber, Janet Hiett, Steven (Joyce) Geary, and Shelly Griffith; grandchildren: Lisa, Jason, Kevin, Kimberly, Jeffrey, Stephanie, Amanda, and Cody; great-grandchildren: Mercedes, Zachary, Maza, Natalie, Drew, and Chloe; and great-great-grandchildren Emerson and Easton.

She was the last surviving member of her immediate family. Dorothy was preceded by her parents, her husband, sons Daniel Geary and Joseph Geary, brothers Lloyd Salmon and Oneill Salmon, and sisters Lucinda Miller and Shella White.

Memorial donations may be made to the organization of the donor's choice.
