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!

  5. Gen, may you rest now in God’s loving arms. From your crafting, to 🎄 Christmas Around the World parties, working funeral luncheons together, cleaning the church kitchen thoroughly when our new priest, Fr. Courtright arrived; it was always a fun time of shared laughter & friendship. You were present @ every Bethany Friday 10:00am mass with a smile 😊…already missed your presence these last two Fridays…God Bless 🙏🏼

  6. My dear sweet silly wonderful Aunt Gen, tho I cannot be at your celebration of life, you are most certainly in my heart and prayers. Fly high with the angels and forever rest in the arms of Jesus. ✝️

  7. I worked with Gen when she volunteered at Prairie Public Broadcasting. As a volunteer at Prairie Public, she brought humor and warmth to everything she did. I’ll remember her for her quick wit and big heart she shared with everyone around her.
