Deborah M. Geisler

Dr. Deborah M. Geisler (Deb) passed away today at the age of 66 after a long battle with lung and heart disease.  She was resting comfortably under hospice care at home before passing.

Deb was, at her core, a teacher.  As a professor of Communication and Journalism at Suffolk University, she touched the lives of students for over 30 years.  Deb never stopped caring profoundly about her students and the material she taught.  She was also a science fiction fan and convention runner and made many friendships in that community.  She was chair of Noreascon 4, the 2004 World Science Fiction Convention, and volunteered her time, experience, and snark to many other conventions.  She enjoyed word games, making jewelry, and helping people in so many ways.

Deb is survived by Michael her husband of over 32 years, her sister Libby, her brother Doug, and her extended family.
