• Funeral: 21 Jun 2016, Thrasher Family Funeral Home, Olney, Richland County, Illinois

Notes:

Geneva loved making Afghans for all her children & grandchildren. She was always mending someone’s zippers, buttons or hemming someone’s britches. Her favorite color was purple, and her love of that color was passed down to a few generations. She loved each and every one of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and spent as much time with them as she could. She would get down on the floor and play ball just like she was as young as they were. She lived a very content life, not wanting much but having all she needed. Her daily phone chats and orneriness will be greatly missed.
