Obituary of Mary M. Geisser

Our beloved mother, Mary Madge Jones Geisser, died June 29, 2009, at Lake Regional Health System in Osage Beach, Missouri. We treasured all our days with her and miss her dearly, but we know there was great joy in Heaven when she was welcomed home. She was born February 16, 1920, to Charles Elmer and Nora Alice (Wynes) Jones. She was part of a close loving family of four girls and four boys. She loved them so much and had to say good-by to each one who preceded her in death; Clifford, Lewis, Flora, John, Ruby, Wilma and Bill. She graduated from Stockton High School in Stockton, Missouri. On September 2, 1939 she and Leland Don Geisser were married. They made their home in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, where Leland worked for Purina Feed Company and Madge made a home for her family; Janice Claudine, Donna Lee, and Frances Ann. They returned home to Stockton were they owned and operated the MFA Service Station. After Leland�s death in 1968, she made her home in Kansas City and later Camdenton, Missouri near her daughters and grandchildren. Mother dearly loved her family.
