Genevieve grew up in DeKalb, Texas. After marrying, she and Ross lived in Beaumont, Texas and then settled in Lake Charles, Louisiana to raise their family. In the late 1960's, they moved to Houston. They lived in Forest Hills, Conroe, for many years and in 1994 built a home in April Sound, Montgomery. Genevieve was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She lived with a deep love for her family. She treasured Ross, the love of her life, and was extremely proud of their blissful 65 years of marriage. A consummate homemaker, Genevieve enjoyed cooking for her family, traveling and decorating. Her greatest joy was celebrating special occasions with family, neighbors and friends. She was joyful about living a full, meaningful life. She leaves us rich in memories.

We have the deepest gratitude for the precious friends, and staff at Elmcroft who have comforted and cared for Genevieve. The family asks that you spend time with your loved ones and raise a toast to enduring relationships, lifelong and beyond, knowing that is what Genevieve would wish.
