Geistman, Inez Lollar Inez Lollar Geistman died Monday, December 18, 2006, in Bedford, Texas. She was 88. Graveside services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Friday, December 22, 2006, at the Rosewood Mausoleum Chapel in Rosewood Park Cemetery, with the Rev. Rita Sims of Winterfield United Methodist Church officiating. Interment will follow in the Veterans' Garden at Rosewood Park. Inez was born January 5, 1918, in the Prairie View Community of Jones County, Texas, to John Anderson and Ella Smith Lollar. She graduated from Anson High School and attended Hardin Simmons University, where she met the love of her life, Julius "J.L." Geistman. They were married June 7, 1938, and had celebrated their 67th anniversary prior to J.L.'s death, September 11, 2005. Inez was a dedicated homemaker, wife, and mother. Always a Texan, family devotion and interest had Inez and J.L. living in Harlingen, Rio Hondo, Lubbock, Levelland, and finally settling in Longview during the late 1970s. Inez was a private but social person; always principled, proper, fun-loving, and highly dedicated and devoted to her family. She nurtured her family spiritually and in so many other ways. Her family was able to face the challenges of life because of the unquestionable and unfailing love that Inez had for them. She was an outstanding cook, a talented seamstress, immaculate housekeeper, chauffeur, occasional nurse, and an indispensable support system. Inez helped J.L. with the business and family bookkeeping and in anyway that she could be of assistance. She loved to go to the "Ranchito" with J.L. and enjoy nature. In Inez's earlier days, she loved to travel and was always involved in study clubs, Bible studies, and her children's church and school activities. She had a beautiful alto voice and loved to sing, listen to music and dance, but playing Bridge was her passion. Shuffle the cards, Lord, here comes Inez. Inez was preceded in death by her husband, J.L. Geistman. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Gerry and Dale Woods of Grapevine, Texas; son and daughter-in-law, Alan and Jan Geistman of Horseshoe Bay, Texas; granddaughter, Natalie Geistman also of Horseshoe Bay; sister-in-law, Clara Weir of Abilene, Texas; and numerous nephews, nieces, and friends. The family knows that Inez would want to thank and express her love and give a hug, as does the family, to the doctors, medical staff and caregivers involved in her life over the last couple of years. Special thanks go to Boe, Pam, and Peyton for their loving care. Memorial contributions may be made to the charity or cause of your choice. Visitation will be from 6-8 p.m. this evening, December 21, 2006, at Rader Funeral Home at 1617 Judson Road in Longview, Texas. A memorial guestbook may be signed online at www.raderfh.com.
