Luda Pauline Geiskop-
Brown-Weaver-Sutton
Baker City,
1933-2016
Luda
Pauline
Geiskop-
Brown-
Weaver-
Sutton
Luda
passed
Sutton
away Tues-
day, June
18, 2013 at the age of 79
in Baker City, Oregon with
complications of cachexia
of an unknown cause. She
was born to Ludovic and
Wilda (Bogert) Geiskop on
October 22, 1933 in Paris
France. Her father, born
and raised in France, was
sent back on an assign-
ment for NBC, (which
he worked as a news reel
cameraman) to cover the
war. They made several
trips back and forth from
Paris to New York, and
around 1937, he went back
to New York for good,
bringing his mother Pau-
line with him. For several
years they moved from
place to place following
the assignments of her
father, Ludovic.
Luda was around her
mother a lot during those
times, and she was blessed
to have had many memo-
ries of her mother. One
of those early memories
was of a story about her
mother taking her to see
The Wizard of Oz, and she
was so frightened by the
wicked witch, that she had
to be taken home. Luda’s
mother passed away at an
early age to cancer; she
was only nine at the time.
In 1947 Luda’s father
bought a home and moved
his family to New Jersey,
Luda was around 14. Her
father was away on assign-
ments quite often, leaving
Luda with the company of
Pauline, her grandmother.
Pauline took over tak-
ing care of the home and
helped raise Luda after
the passing of her mother.
She was a strict discipli-
narian, and demanded a
lot for a growing young
girl. Pauline never spoke
English, so French was the
language of the home.
Luda had many luxuries
that came with her father’s
job and she recited many
of those stories to her own
children. At one time,
while vacationing with her
father in Canada she en-
joyed a rare treat, taking a
young bear cub for walks.
Luda went on many vaca-
tions that took her around
Europe and Italy, but
always under the watch-
ful eye of her father. Luda
grew into a very talented
and artistic young lady; she
played the piano, fl ute and
was part of a dance band.
At 19, Luda and her family
suffered a second tragedy
with the passing of her
father. She continued to
live under her grandmoth-
er’s care. After her fathers
passing she met Michael
Brown, whom had seen her
playing the piano and soon
the two were one. Michael
and Luda stayed in the
New Jersey home and that
is where they brought their
three children, all girls,
Michelle Pauline, Lydia
and Bonnie Marguerite
into the world. Luda and
Michael were married for
10 great years. Luda lost
her grandmother in 1966
when she was the ripe
old age of 91. The family
eventually sold the home
and moved west to the
Oregon coast.
In 1968 she met and
married her second
husband, the true love of
her life, Albert Delbert
Weaver, and together they
moved to Idaho to be
closer to his family. Albert
was an old cowboy, and
soon Luda transitioned
from a “City Slicker” to a
country wife. She learned
how to make homemade
sour dough bread, wore ir-
rigating boots and wielded
a pitchfork. She loved
babies, and often the runts
of litters seemed to make
their way into the house
for care. Many times the
cries of little baby pigs
anxious for their morning
feeding could be heard
from the box by her room.
Albert was a good husband
and cared for her deeply.
It was very hard when he
passed away only a few
short years later, in 1970.
The headstone at his grave
bares a photo taken during
the time of their wedding.
It was his infl uence that
became the cornerstone
that led Luda to her faith.
Eventually Luda sold
the farm and moved with
Albert’s family to New
Acres, where she pur-
chased property. Luda
loved birds and nature
in general, she was an
avid gardener, and turned
her little barren spot into
acreage with many trees
and shrubs. She enjoyed
going for walks, and was a
talented artist, with water
color being her favorite, a
trait she received from her
mother. Luda also loved to
sing and she sang for two
different church choirs.
She maintained three
magazine subscriptions for
over 50 years, and enjoyed
reading all of them; Life,
National Geographic, and
Prevention magazines were
always in her collection.
She had a large vocabulary,
and would win at the game
of scrabble which she
played with her children.
Luda taught her girls how
to hunt for agates, and
passed on her love for rock
collecting.
Luda remarried and
fi nished raising her three
girls. She sold her property
at the request of her hus-
band, and with his idea that
they were going to “move
to Mexico and live like
kings”. They soon returned
and moved to the Durkee
area where she lived until
her failing health moved
her to her fi nal home in
Baker City, Oregon.
Luda always believed
in the goodness of people,
and had faith that could
move a mountain. Though
the mountain brought
her down, she never lost
her faith in God, and
she passed those values
down to her children. She
passed away on Tuesday
June 18th of 2013. Her
tombstone is located in
the Meridian Cemetery; in
Meridian Idaho with her
Late husband Albert, her
father Ludovic, her mother
Wilda, and her beloved
grandmother Pauline. She
is survived by her three
daughters, Michelle, Lydia
and Bonnie, two grandchil-
dren Brian Scott McClain,
and Morgan David Mc-
Clain.
Mom, we love you
dearly, and look forward
being re-united with you in
eternity, a place that bares
no pain. Your beloved
children; Michelle, Lydia,
and Bonnie.
