August 24, 1951 – October 7, 2025

On October 7, 2025, our beloved Elaine Geiger Ziegler left this earth. Elaine was born on August 24, 1951 in Chattanooga, Tennessee to Lillian and Gus Geiger. She was preceded in death by her sister, Claire Geiger, and both of her parents. She is survived by her husband, Thomas Ziegler, her brother, Ted Geiger and sister-in-law, Sue Geiger. She is survived by her daughter, Nancy Williams and her grandchildren: Alex Standridge, Nicole Standridge (Grace Standridge), Casey Lewis (Matt Lewis), Chase Williams, and her great grandson, August Standridge.

Elaine’s faith and family were foremost in her life. She was a lifelong and devoted member of First Church of Christ, Scientist in Decatur, Alabama. Elaine was active in her community and was heavily involved with the Boy Scouts for the last several decades. Elaine enjoyed playing tennis and bridge with her friends and was an incredibly talented artist (particularly with watercolors). She loved to travel the world as often as she could and built cherished lifelong memories with her family. We take solace in a life well lived, and sorrow in her passing. She will be profoundly missed by those that knew and loved her.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, October 17, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Roselawn Funeral Home in Decatur, Alabama.
