Peggy Geier

Peggy Irene Geier, formerly of Topeka KS, died September 2, 2026, at Hemsley House of Lenexa KS, where she had resided since 2024. Peggy was born August 15, 1947, in Emporia KS, to Irvin and Viola Chatelain Calvert. She grew up in Waverly KS and graduated from Waverly High School in 1965. She was a small-town girl at heart, and enjoyed her time there, always returning for class reunions and alumni banquets with her sister. Peggy enjoyed reminding her children of her time spent on the Waverly High School cheerleading squad with her sister, cheering on the Waverly Bulldogs. Peggy married the love of her life, Harry Geier, on August 19, 1967, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Waverly, just two short weeks before Harry was deployed for a year-long tour in Vietnam. They eventually settled in Topeka where they raised their children and lived the remainder of their married life. Peggy was employed at Baker University School of Nursing in Topeka for over thirty years. She loved the connections she made with her students over the years, as well as many of her co-workers. After her retirement, Peggy and Harry enjoyed taking road trips, either by themselves, or with the many close friends they had. They were always up for a new adventure and there was always laughter involved, no matter who they were with. Peggy often greeted loved ones with her famous homemade pies and cookies. Preceding Peggy in death was her husband, Harry, her parents, and her only sibling, Sue Weber. Peggy is survived by her children, Teresa (David) Holthaus, Baileyville KS, Anne (Chad) Cropp, Shawnee KS, and Paul (Valerie) Geier, Olathe KS; as well as her grandchildren, Max, Drew, Jack, and Samantha Holthaus, Emmalyn (Logan) Tracy, and Luke and Cal Geier; sisters-in-law, Phyllis Fuhr, Karen Geier, and Kathy Winter; as well as many nieces and nephews. The happiest times in Peggy’s life were those spent with her children and grandchildren, and her husband, Harry. Her family is comforted in knowing Peggy and Harry are at last reunited. Visitation will be 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at Most Pure Heart of Mary Catholic Church, where Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. and burial will follow in Mount Calvary Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Doorstep and sent in care of Kevin Brennan Family Funeral Home, 2801 SW Urish Road, Topeka KS 66614.
