Keola Wayment Geilmann

Keola Wayment Geilmann, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away April 13, 2005 in her home after a courageous 14-year battle with cancer.

Born in Ogden, Utah on July 11, 1934, Keola was a natural leader as a cheerleader and student body officer in her school days. She met the love of her life, Milton Ray Geilmann and they were married in the Salt Lake Temple in 1952. Throughout their years together, Keola and Ray lived in Ogden, Utah; Great Falls, Montana; Spokane, Washington; and Tualatin, Oregon.

Keola unselfishly served all of her life in various responsibilities within her church. These included serving in Relief Society and Primary presidencies, teaching seminary, and working in the Portland Temple. She was deeply religious and was admired greatly for her integrity, listening ear, and strength of character. Keola was devoted to her family and enjoyed caring for her husband, children, and grandchildren. She found great joy in being a homemaker.

Keola is survived by her husband of 53 years, Ray; daughter Susan (Evan) Marchant; daughter Hollie (James) Vance; and son Blake (Debbie) Geilmann; grandchildren Kristy, Michael, Jonathan, Jennifer, Christopher, Victoria, Donovan, Steven, and Zachary. She is also survived by her sister Nita Brown of Arizona; and brother Lee (Alta) Wayment of Ogden. She will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.
