Woodstock, Connecticut – Linda A. (Woodward) Geiger, age 82, passed on Tuesday, 24 September, 2024, at Matulaitis Nursing Home in Putnam.

Linda was born in Hartford, daughter of the late Oscar Jr. and Josephine (Perkins) Woodward and lived in Jasper, Georgia before moving to Woodstock seven years ago.  After retiring from teaching mathematics in Massachusetts and Georgia public schools, she became a self-employed professional genealogist, performing research for clients and lecturing across the United States.
