Deepest sympathy to Gen’s family. I remember her as a very good student and also a very happy girl when I was her teacher in grade school.
My deepest sympathy to Genevieve’s family. Working with her at Winger Cheese for many years, we shared a lot of jokes and pranks. She was a person dedicated to accuracy in dealing with figures, a very conscientious and dedicated employee. She will be missed by the many people who shared in her friendship. May God bless and comfort the family of Genevieve in the days ahead.
So sorry to hear of your Mom’s death! I knew her well when she was in Towner and lost touch when she moved to Fargo. Have good memories of her & all of you. Enjoy her day tomorrow- my thoughts will be with you! Love to all, Carol Berg
I was so sorry to learn of Genevieve’s passing. We were co workers at Winger Cheese. I will always remember her dedication to her work and how enjoyable it was to work alongside her. She was so dedicated to her job and to Winger Cheese. She had a wonderful sense of humor. She was so proud of her family. I was proud to call her friend. I’m so very sorry, and may God give you all strength to help you deal with the loss of such a special, good and kind person. She will, indeed, be missed by many!
Sorry for your loss. Loosing a mom/parent has got to be one of the hardest things. Sending prayers to all of you and your family
Many memories of Genevieve. Our sympathy to her family!
