We my wife Ingrid and me, Uta’s brother, will not forget the common events we shared together. Especially the times during and after WWII where Uta and me togther with our parents and sister Vera escaped from Posen, Uta’s birthplace. After almost a year later we safely safely arrived in the Palatinate. There we were given home by our grandparents and we were for years together until Fred Geggus, serving in the Air Force here in Germany met her. In 1959 Fred married Uta and they went with their beloved twins Carol and Carolyn to the States. Uta later gifted the family a boy, Mike, and the family lived for a long time in Ohio. Uta frequently came to Germany and we enjoyed her visits. We will allways remember her and the times we were spending together. Uta is allways in our thougts.
I am a former coworker of uta’s we worked together at Continental airlines and United till i left on disability.we worked together in london in 2000.i just found out of her passing i was shoked to hear of this. Is one of her syblings or children on Facbook were i can reach one of you. Ich spreche auch fliessend Deutsch und lebte jahre in hamburg.
I had just found out just the other day that Uta had passed away. I am so very sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences & prayers to the family. I worked with Uta at Continental & United Airlines. She was a lovely lady & always very kind to everybody & a sight to see walking in to work or towards me with that ready beautiful, warm smile always that brings the best out of people. I will miss her hum when we sit together & when she starts humming, I know she wants to sing and I’d tell her that it wouldn’t bother me at all if she starts singing we could use a good music just about right now and we both get a kick out of that. It was fun watching her practiced with her choir group & enjoyed going to their choir concerts. I was truly amazed how talented she was & what a lovely voice she had and for that alone, she will be terribly missed. I’m smiling right now with this thought which brought memories of great camaraderie we enjoyed in those years of friendship & working together. She was one lovely friend & will be truly kept in my heart forever. GOD bless her and may she rest in peace.
To Uta’s Family: I am very sorry for your loss. I am sad to have just learned of Uta’s passing. Uta was a lovely person. I met her and Fred when they moved next door to me at Tara Cay. They were great neighbors. We all had busy lives so we didn’t get to talk often enough, but we knew we were there for each other. In fact, I took Uta to the hospital when Fred had his stroke. I stayed a few hours and even got to talk to Fred before I left. I thought he would be home in a couple of days. Uta was devastated by Fred’s passing. But she tried to stay positive and kept busy working, but most of all she focused on her family. She loved her family and always had stories to tell me about them. After I moved, we would occasionally call each other or meet for dinner. The last couple of times we met, she started the conversation with, “Let me show you the pictures of the wedding” or “the pictures of the babies” or “the pictures of my children.” She was so proud of her family & loved you all dearly. I knew Uta since 1991 and in all that time I don’t think I ever heard her say an unkind word about anyone. Uta was a beautiful woman inside & out. I will miss her.
