A dedicated professional, Helen retired from Wells Fargo after a distinguished career as a Branch Manager of several Branch offices in Columbia. She also served her community with integrity and compassion as Magistrate for the Sandy Run District of Calhoun County, South Carolina. Helen was preceded in death by her husband, Alex Geiger, and her two sisters, Pauline Means and Annette Weaver.
