      Doralee Geyer

      September 12, 2026

      With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved mom, Doralee Geyer, who passed away peacefully on September 12, 2026, at the age of 74, surrounded by love.

      Doralee grew up in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, and dedicated 45 years of her life to nursing. For the final 18 years of her career, she proudly worked on the IV team. Her caring heart and dedication to helping others were a beautiful reflection of the person she was.

      Doralee was the beloved wife of Bruce Geyer, her husband of 44 years. Together, they built a beautiful life filled with love, family, laughter, and memories. She was a devoted mom to Jane and David Cramer of Middletown, VA; Pamela Geyer and Tommy Reynolds of Kitty Hawk, NC; Susan and Marshall White of Poplar Branch, NC; and Kelly and Tim Jaszczuk of King George, VA.

      She was a loving Nana to seven grandchildren: Kaitlin, Logan, Grady, Ethan, Blake, Dylan, and Ryan, who brought her endless joy and love. She is also survived by her brother Jeff and Linda Hickman of Greensburg, PA.

      She was preceded in death by her parents, George Sr. and Betty Hickman, and her brother, George Hickman, Jr.

      Doralee had a gift for making everyone laugh and smile. She told the best stories, had the funniest jokes, and could bring joy to any room. Her laughter was contagious, and her stories will be told and cherished for generations.

      Her favorite place in the world was Disney World, where she found so much happiness and magic. She loved bringing everyone together for a themed party and creating memories that her family will talk about for years to come. Whether it was a family gathering or simply time spent together, she had a way of making every moment feel special.

      Doralee's greatest gift was the life she gave us and the love she taught us to share. She gave us each other, and that love will carry us through even the most difficult days. We are so lucky to have had her, and even luckier that we got to call her wife, Mom and Nana. We may have reached the end of Dori's story, but her love and laughter will live on in our hearts forever.

      No services are planned at this time. Please leave a message of comfort for the family at gallopfuneralservices.com. Gallop Funeral Services was entrusted with arrangements.

        OUR HISTORY

        The Nags Head Chapel and Company Headquarters

        Nags Head Chapel

        Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. was founded in Nags Head, NC in 2006 by licensed North Carolina Funeral Director Courtney N. Gallop. This independent, minority and woman-owned start-up funeral home challenged the existing monopoly firm which had sole control of all funeral care, goods, and services provided in Manteo, the Outer Banks, and Currituck County for nearly 100 years.

        Finally - someone brought competition into the local funeral industry. As a direct result of Gallop Funeral Services, Inc., local families now have choices, options, alternatives, fairer pricing, flexibility, and a higher level of service in funeral care for their loved ones.

        The Barco Memorial Chapel - Currituck

        Barco Chapel

        In 2016, Gallop Memorial Chapel was opened in Barco, NC. The spacious, newly remodeled facility is the first and only funeral service-related business ever to locate in Currituck County. The Barco Gallop Memorial Chapel is conveniently located near the Outer Banks, Moyock and Elizabeth City. The elegant yet relaxing chapel interior is welcoming and comfortable for viewings, family gatherings, funerals, and memorial services. Our Barco chapel is perfectly equipped to serve all faiths and families in the county.

        Courtney Gallop and the staff at Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. are committed to excellence. We continue to improve, grow, invest, and learn in order to provide the highest level of service for all families entrusted to our care.

        Capital Crematory

        Capital Crematory

        In 2011, we built and established Capital Crematory, the first and only crematory ever in Dare County. The crematory supports Gallop Funeral Services and also provides professional cremation services for other funeral homes in the Albemarle area. Having our own local crematory means your loved one's cremation will be handled personally by owners of the funeral home, 100% locally, quickly, and at the best pricing.
