Imogene Mae Geib

Family and neighbors in Burlington mark the death of Imogene Mae Geib on October 6, 2025. She was 83. Born in Burlington on March 1, 1942; German-American cooking and payday thrift set the tone of the house. Young, she understood that quiet competence outlasts loud plans. She issued parts that kept barns from improvising danger. A parts crib bin label set rebuilt more trust than lawyers. Colleagues still mention a parts crib bin label set. She married Robert in 1967. They kept a house that stayed modest when the neighborhood did not. They raised a daughter and two sons through public schools and ordinary weather. After Robert died in 2018, she kept the routines that still made sense: the walk, the garden, the Sunday call. Neighbors remember the radio low on a Saturday while repairs got done. She liked early mornings before the heat or the noise. She died in Burlington, among streets she never needed to explain. The Sunday call still has a time slot in the house.
