Geneva enjoyed baking, listening to the radio and doing crosswords. She also enjoyed reading the paper, playing checkers and she made the best fried chicken you ever ate. She loved working in the garden and she loved her animals. But most of all, she enjoyed her family and loved seeing them all of the time.
Friends will be received at Burnside Funeral Home, 607 S. Virginia Avenue, Bridgeport, on Wednesday from 3 – 8 p.m., where services will be held at 1 p.m. Thursday, May 14, 2026, with Pastor Gary Devart and Pastor Austin Lynch presiding. Interment will follow in Flemington I.O.O.F. Cemetery.
