Genevieve dedicated her time to her loved ones, worshiping the lord and various hobbies including crafts, ceramics and baking. She displayed her love for Elvis Presley and John Wayne. She had a big heart and always donated to those in need. She never let her family go without and never asked for anything in return. Our loving Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Friend will be missed dearly. As she always said, “No good-bye, See you later!”
