Family loyalist, huge smiles, twinkling eyes, kisses, vivacious, crafts, crafts, and more crafts, volunteer, crochet maker, welcoming, humble, joker, author, hearty meals, green thumb gardener, prayerful, God lover. All of these words that come to mind thinking of Gen, aka “Granny”, are only a part of the beautiful person that she was. Every thought of her brings a warmth within me along with precious memories. It was a real honor to know Gen and to love her. Hope to see you in heaven, Granny!
