Vicijean Geer, age 86, of London, passed away Monday, December 22, 2025, in Grant Medical Center. She leaves behind a legacy of dedication and service that touched generations of students, colleagues, family, and friends.

Born April 20, 1939, in Summerford, Ohio, Vici was a daughter of Chester R. Geer and Doris (Brake) Geer.

Vici later received the honor of being inducted into the London High School Academic Hall of Fame. Her impact on the school system extended beyond her administrative role, as she also served twelve years on the London School Board, helping guide the district with wisdom and care.

Vici was a faithful and active member of St. John’s Lutheran Church, where she also previously served as Church Council President, exemplifying her deep commitment to faith and community service. She was also a proud member of the 20th Century Club and the Order of the Eastern Star #386, valuing fellowship, service, and lifelong learning.
