Geist -- Jacob D. (Jack) Geist, one of Colorado and New Mexico's vintage pioneers of telephone and telegraph, checked his last section of line, declared it good, said his good-byes and passed-on to a heavenly valley August 3, 2001. He was 94 years old. He died peacefully of age-related maladies at La Vida Llena Retirement Center in Albuquerque, NM, surrounded with the love and tender care of his immediate family and many friends. His life was both long and full. Jack's work life began at age 16 when he left his Ft. Collins, CO home with $30 in his pocket. He said he felt rich. He hired-on with the shipping department of Colorado Wholesale Drug Co. in Denver, CO. After 18 months he left to work for Western Union, building the Union Pacific telephone line that would run from Denver to El Paso, TX. Not long thereafter he met Jessie, his wife-to-be, who was living in a �teacherage� close to where he was constructing line near Arapaho, CO. Months later he changed jobs and began building telephone line for Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph (later to be Mountain Bell) in eastern Colorado and eastern New Mexico. He and Jessie were married not long thereafter on August 3, 1929. Locations they lived and worked include Raton, Springer, Clayton, Las Vegas, Taos, Albuquerque, Artesia, Estancia, Mountainair, and many more, some more than once. Jessie, his wife of 72 years, once said they moved 88 times in 25 years, but that wasn't all the moves, over the course of 42 years with Mountain States T&T. Jack did it all in telephone work , from telephone installation and line construction to telephone office management in Springer, Taos, and Las Vegas. Jessie even helped with operator duties at several work locations. Jack and his family moved to Albuquerque in 1954 where he ended his career within the Engineering Department, retiring in September 1971. His most cherished work years were those assigned to the Taos office. He loved the surrounding areas and the people of Taos. He was proud to have personally installed the first telephone at the Taos Pueblo. In early retirement years Jack maintained several downtown Albuquerque parking lots. Passers-by got a cheerful wave and big smile from under the broad-brimmed straw sombrero worn by this strong man, as he labored long hours in the sun with his heavy leather gloves and long-handled shovel. In later years he gave up the �Lots� and focused on his gardens and lawn. He and Jessie journeyed to some distant lands, but his favorite places of comfort were his home and nearby Fox Park in Albuquerque and visiting spots in Taos. Jack was born August 24, 1906 in Fort Collins, the last survivor of 12 siblings, son of Jacob and Katherine Margaret Hill Geist. He is survived by his wife, Jessie Kathleen Wadley Geist of Albuquerque; and three children, son, Jerry D. Geist and wife, Sharon of Albuquerque, NM, son, J. Michael Geist and wife, Charlotte of La Grande, OR, and daughter, Gretchen G. Shipley and husband, Bob of Albuquerque. He is also survived by 14 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren who he loved very much and was always mindful of their well-being. Jack was a long-time and supporting member of the Bent Masonic Lodge in Taos, NM and the First United Methodist Church in Albuquerque. He helped with various programs within the church and devoted many hours locally to The Monday Grace Meal. Jack was a strong man who was diligent in all he did. The strength and enjoyment he gained from even the hardest of work performed, helped him battle like a warrior through a variety of life and health crises. But, even the best of warriors find there is a time to end the battle. He did it well and good. Memorial services will be held Monday, 2:00 p.m., at First United Methodist Church, 314 Lead SW, with Dr. Ira Williams, Jr. officiating. Private interment will precede services. Friends may visit French Mortuary, 10500 Lomas Blvd. NE, Sunday, 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Should friends desire, memorial contributions may be made to The Monday Grace Meal, First United Methodist Church, P.O.

Medina -- Perhaps you brought or served food. Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words as any friends could say; perhaps you were not there at all, just thought or prayed for us that day. Whatever part the Lord had you play to console our hearts, we thank you so much and may He bless each one of you. The family of Clarencio Medina. French Mortuary-Westside, 9300 Golf Course Rd. NW.

Miller -- Patricia A (DoBell) Miller. March 17, 1935 - July 7, 2001. In His great love, the Lord tenderly took Pat to be with him to live joyously forever in His kingdom in heaven. We will miss her strong and giving spirit. Pat was an avid reader and lover of art and music. Pat enjoyed collecting miniatures and relished her morning crossword puzzles, coaxing those near her to wrack their brains for the hard to answer clue! She loved to read in bed while savoring a popsicle or her favorite cinnamon sucker! Pat's daughter, Linda, recalled reading in her Mom's baby book Pat's Mother, Elizabeth, wrote"Pat would rather play with live dogs than with her dolls." This was so true as Pat dearly loved the family dogs, Jazzie, Leo, and Moe. She took good care of them and they rewarded her with love and devotion. Pat was a native of Albuquerque, attending St. Mary's, Jefferson Jr. High and graduating from Highland High School. She worked at Korber's Hardware as a teenager. Her most recent jobs were at TransAmerica Insurance and Keenan and Associates where she made many friends, especially her dear friend Sally Ritts who drove Pat to and from work and visited Pat with her sunny smile and disposition after Pat's health forced her to retire. Pat was preceded in death by her father, William E. DoBell, who died when she was a teenager, and her Mother Elizabeth DoBell Reynolds who passed away two years ago. She was also preceded in death by her brother William DoBell, Jr.; stepfather John Reynolds; and stepbrothers, John, Mark, and Jeff. She is survived by her beloved children, Linda Miller of California, and Wade C. Miller of Albuquerque; her sisters, Rose Mary and husband Tom Martin, Betty and husband Richard Heise; her brother Steve DoBell and wife JoAnne Carlson of Seattle; stepsisters, Pat and husband Ron Archibeck, Barbara Tyble, and Celinda and her husband Harold Kaelin; and stepbrothers, Tim Reynolds and wife Sarah, Rod Reynolds and wife Elizabeth, and James Reynolds. She also leaves many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. Pat requested no formal services. She wished to be cremated and have her remains quietly spread. Her wishes were accomplished with a prayer of thanksgiving for the Loving Father who loaned her to us so she could love us and we could lover her for the precious years we had together.
