Geoffrey Mehl

Geoffrey was a member of Our Lady of Victory Church. Geoff enjoyed native plant gardening as part of sound ecological and sustainable practices. His most recent gardening book was A Gardener’s Guide to Native Plants of Northeastern Pennsylvania.

He felt strongly about creating a sanctuary of beauty and contemplation.

Along with his wife, he is survived by his children: Ryan A. Mehl (Sarah) of Corvalis, Oregon; Graham L. Mehl (Melissa) of Laurel, Maryland; a sister Sharon Malec (Wayne) of West Chicago, Illinois and many dear friends.  He was preceded in death by his daughter Katharine A.
