Virginia Carol Geib, 93, of Orlando, Florida, passed away peacefully on March 13, 2026. Born May 22, 1932, in Islip, New York (Southside Hospital), Virginia was the daughter of Wesley William Jost and Virginia Ruth Holton (Jost). Virginia will be remembered with deep gratitude and love.

Virginia graduated from Asbury Park High School in New Jersey. After high school, she worked for her father at Jost Garage (body & fender) in Belmar, New Jersey. She was self-taught and enjoyed playing the piano and accordion.

Virginia was a devoted stay-at-home mother to her loving family. She also took cake decorating classes through Wilton Cake Decorating Corp. and was employed with a Chicago-based clothing patch factory, working from home cutting and packaging many kinds of patches attached to clothing (including Girl Scout, Boy Scout, and Future Farmers of America).

Virginia met her future husband at a roller-skating rink in Asbury Park, New Jersey, and she and Vern Geib were married on May 1, 1955. During their marriage, she gave birth to six children: Linda Byerley (predeceased); Cindy Hood (Jim); Judy Lorz (Bob); Vern Geib (Dori); Wesley Geib (Bruni); and Steven Geib. She leaves behind five children.

Virginia was the second eldest in a lineup of four other siblings. She is survived by her brother Wesley Jost and her sister Kathy Shouse. She was predeceased by her siblings Robert Jost and Betsey Clayton. She is also survived by 13 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.

Once retired, Vern and Virginia moved from New Lenox, Illinois, to Spring Hill, Florida, where they enjoyed the remainder of their lives together traveling and making many new friends.

The family will hold a private burial ceremony at the Florida National Cemetery with a VA solute for Vern’s service in the U.S. Army. The family thanks all who hold loving memories of their mom, Virginia Geib. May she rest in peace.
