Gennie was Brethren by faith and very active in her church. Her love and devotion to God and her family came first and foremost in her life. She raised seven children and helped raise multiple grandchildren. She loved to be surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Gennie was known to most as mom or granny to not only her own, but to many who came into her life through her children and grandchildren. She claimed them all. She was an active member in the 4-H Club and the Sugarlands Homemakers Club, along with other activities in the community. Gennie was a very social person and loved by all she met. She has left an impact on every person she ever came in contact with. She will be missed by all those who know her and most by her children and grandchildren, whom will keep her in their heart always.
