IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Yitka E.
Geiger (Nee Krocek)
September 19, 1956 – January 26, 2025
Yitka E. Geiger (nee Krocek) age 68, of Valley City, passed away in her home on January 26th, 2025, with her loving husband by her side, after a hard-fought battle with glioblastoma. She was a devoted wife to Paul for 47 years. Cherished mother of Kelly (Rob) and Jennifer. Dearest gramma of Evelynn, Nathan, Elliott, Natalie, and Madelyn. Daughter of the late Anna and Zdenek Krocek. Sister of Myron, Peter, and the late Jerry Krocek (Sheryl). Dear aunt, cousin, and friend of many.
Yitka was a long-time employee at Jones Day downtown Cleveland. She was very active in school, and always took pride in being a graduate of West Tech High School Class of 1974. Her love for music began in early elementary school where she played the flute, and continued throughout her life listening to her favorite Oldies music. She was very passionate about cooking/baking, her favorite time of the year, Christmas, and her wiener dog "Teddy". Her love for giraffes and snowmen was apparent throughout her entire house. Spending time together with her husband bowling on a mixed couple league, going to their trailer in Loudonville, shopping at Kohl's, or just relaxing at their beautiful home in Valley City were some of her favorite things. But most importantly, she loved her family and friends, especially her grandchildren. They could always put a smile on her face. She will be missed and was loved by all who knew her.
