Geneva worked for GM Inland Division for 20+ years where she made life long friends. She was also a fixture at Kitchens By Design with a warm smile, a hot cup of coffee, and something good to eat for all who entered.

She was orphaned before the age of 2 due to a terrible car accident that claimed both her parents and was then raised by her family members. She thoroughly enjoyed her high school years and loved roller skating. She was an amazing mother who raised 4 children under the age of 10 on her own. She insured her children had everything they ever needed. In her later years, she enjoyed her beautiful condo in Centerville, the Dallas Cowboys, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Milton Union football, puzzles, her daughters spending time with her, and daily calls from her son Rickey. She had a true joy of Christmas and all the family traditions.
