Geibel

Patricia Ann "Patti" Geibel, 56, of DeLand, Fla., and East Butler, died Thursday at her home in Florida.

Born in Pittsburgh, Feb. 15, 1952, she was the daughter of the late Floyd J. and Elva Nebel Geibel.

A graduate of Butler High School, Patti always had a great love for animals, especially horses, that led to her education and training as an equine dental technician. She operated her own business, Equine Dental Services, for more than 21 years. She worked in the Butler area during summer months and was a resident of DeLand, where she worked from September through April for the past 10 years.

She was a member of the St. Peter Roman Catholic Church in Butler.

Patti's greatest joy was her motorcycle, and she was a proud and avid rider. She was an active member of the Goldwing Road Riders Association and the Motor Maids. She also had been active with the Syria Shrine Motor Corps Ladies, the American Legion and the AARP.

Surviving are her daughter, Doreen Norris and her husband, Scott, of Berlin, Pa.; and a granddaughter, Morgan Lee-Ann Norris.
