Genevieve was one of the fortunate ladies that was able to be a stay at home Mom. She taught her children the importance of knowing there was a higher power and how important that is for their own journey of life. Genevieve was an amazing woman with many talents. She taught herself to be a Seamstress, Carpenter, Landscaper, Designer, Cook, and Painter. Above these traits, she had many gifts and talents, but the one she cherished was being a dedicated MOTHER to her children and family. We were blessed to learn many valuable lessons during her 95 years and witness the incredible job she did in her journey. We will remember her kindness, warmth, her energy, her love for her family and friends. She worked very hard all her life, up until the very end.
We would like to send a special thank you to the WV Caring (Hospice) team who helped care for our mother.
Team: Carrie Buzzo, Christina Spears, Joey Hixenbaugh, Trudy Chandler, and Erica Tolliver.
A special thank you to all of her children for their special touch in caring for our precious mother.
