Lebanon, N.H. —
The eldest of three children, Elizabeth spent her early years growing up and working on a large dairy farm in Pepperell, Mass. After high school, she earned a degree in Physical Therapy at Bouve College, Tufts University. Upon graduation, she joined the Army and served in England and Germany rehabilitating wounded soldiers.
Her profession eventually led her to Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital where she was reacquainted with her future husband, David Hewitt. During her longtime residence in Hanover, Elizabeth raised a family, assisted with the family’s printing business, and practiced physical therapy. In 1992, she married Wallace Geiger, her high school sweetheart. They enjoyed three blissful years traveling to destinations within and outside of the United States.
Throughout life, Elizabeth was a staunch supporter of Girl Scouts and a talented gardener, quilter, seamstress, and knitter.
The family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to the staff at Harvest Hill Retirement Community, White River Family Practice, Lake Sunapee VNA & Hospice, and Sweet Home Care for their loving care and support.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Plus Company, Attention of Lisa D’ Errico, 19 Chestnut Street, Nashua, NH 03060 (www.pluscompany.org). A nonprofit agency, the Plus Company provides support and services to individuals with developmental disabilities.

A celebratory service of Elizabeth’s remarkable life will be held at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 5 Summer St., Hanover, N.H. on Jan. 21, 2017, at 1 p.m.
