Geneva worked for Admiral for three years. Then she worked 37 1/2 years for Nestle, retiring in 1995. She was a member of the Good Hope Primitive Baptist Church in Leoma, TN.
She enjoyed sewing, gardening, listening to gospel music, reading her Bible, collecting chickens/roosters, dolls, and baskets. Her fondest pastime was spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She loved her family dearly. She was a devoted wife for almost 68 years, a great homemaker and wonderful cook. She was a faithful caregiver to her husband for nine years before his passing, and a loving mother, grandma, and great-grandma. We deeply miss her. Geneva's legacy of faith, hope, and love will live on through her family.
