GEIGER, Catherine: Catherine Isabel . Geiger passed away on May 16, 2009 surrounded by her children, the love of her life, Donald and good friend Linda. She was born Catherine Isabel Schaefer on December 29, 1945 and from that day her presence was a blessing upon the world. Catherine had a very special way of brightening the lives of everyone with who she interacted. She did this in her marriage, of almost 21 years, to Donald Geiger and poured her love into the lives of her children, Dianne Dungey, Denise Wamsley, Deborah Wamsley, James (Paula) Wamsley, Dana (Willis) Mahood, Ben (Karen) Geiger, Tana (Bren- dan) Guyitt, Kaleb (Chantelle) Geiger, and Darda (Brad) Sales.

Her grandchildren, Tom, Steven, Robert, Kate, Jake, Sam, Kaylee, Evan, Kamryn, Silver, Lana, Aeva, Kennedy -Raine and great grandchild Aurora, will miss her sweet way of spoiling them and her enthusiastic zip for life. Catherine, the beloved sistr of Olive Ropchan, Al (Doreen) Schaefer, Carl (Jean) Schaefer, and Rus- sell (Kim) Schaefer, was also a very caring, sensi- tive friend to many. Her fun sense of humour was a genuine gift. Catherine was a a fabulous teacher, amazing cook, avid shopper, true golf lover and • fervent book worm. Catherine and Donald enjoyed their time travelling, dancing and dining together. Her expertise on computers led her to helping many people through teaching and consulting. When Catherine was diagnosed with multiple my- eloma, a form of cancer, in 2004, she quickly be- came an .active leader of the London and District Myeloma Support Group, involved in fundraising, advocacy, and awareness. Her strength and cour- age was an inspiration to the group. She excelled at encouraging others, listening to their stories, and being an informative resource. Special thanks to the doctors and nurses in the Critical Care Trau- ma Centre, Hematology department, and all the staff at Victoria Hospital in London for the care and attention they gave her.

That was the word delivered by David Overboe, social services ad- ministrator, in reference to Huron County's current waiting list for subsidized housing during a May 19 committee -of -the -whole session. As it stands, he said, there are 237 individuals on the waiting list, which is "up slightly" from average figures. The arrears rate for housing is also on the rise to 3.12 per cent, up from the county's normal two per cent fig- ure. However, noted Overboe, that fig- ure is still notably lower than the in- dustry standard of five per cent. Overboe reported' the county is still awaiting word on more funding for the affordable -housing program, which allocates grant money for po- tential homeowners in the lower-in- come strata. One of the pitfalls of the newer ver- sion of the program is the focus is on helping buyers purchase new homes, said Overboe, which is something that will be difficult to achieve with a price cap of $156,000. Still, he said, the rationale behind the program is to "get shovels in the ground" and create new construction jobs. By Cheryl Heath &w h. 4x': • •••••••••••• 1' • WED.
