“Genevieve was a talented sewist, often using her talent to mend for family and friends. She and her husband enjoyed dancing, often going to the Janesville or Oelwein Ballrooms. Genevieve looked forward to the yearly family reunions that kept her in touch with everyone. She was her husband’s biggest fan at his fast pitch softball games, an avid Pinochle player and a watcher of Lawrence Welk. Genevieve was a devoted Christian, always carrying her rosary, spending time in prayer and attending communion once a week.”
