Mayfest ceremony honors longtime Maytown couple

Maytown's annual Mayfest event, held on May 6 in the historic town as well as at Lloyd H. Fuhrman Memorial Park, featured a number of activities and programs. One highlight was an afternoon marriage ceremony featuring the vow renewals of longtime Maytown residents Don and Marilyn Geib, both wearing period attire for the occasion.

The Geibs were high school sweethearts who met in the library at Donegal High School their junior year. At Donegal, Don was a football player and Marilyn was a cheerleader.

Don and Marilyn married on Aug. 8, 1959. They moved into their Maytown home the following year and still reside there. Their pride and joy is spending time with their family and investing in their community, in which they have been active members for more than 60 years. Their community involvements include volunteering for their church and participating in Meals on Wheels weekly. They have also served on the local water authority for more than 40 years. The Geibs are known for being a giving couple, and they are beloved by their neighbors and friends.

Don and Marilyn have two daughters, Tracey Geib-Lehman, wife of George Lehman, and Brenda Geib-Heffelfinger, wife of Phil Heffelfinger. The couple also has five grandchildren: Justin, husband of Stephanie Smay; Alex, husband of Alissa Smay; Katie, wife of Philip Harris; Nick, husband of Leila Smay; and Jack Heffelfinger. Their great-grandchildren are Charlotte and Henry Smay.
