    Genelle & I grew up in the same neighborhood & walked many miles together, rain or shine in NE weather. She was my Maid of Honor, a true best friend forever. Our Son Blair and her daughter Susan were baptized together, Genelle, my cousin, Donna Lackas & I were baptized together. The 3 of us graduated from High School together, We spent many visits to Genelle's home & attended a few NE games together as well. She always kept me informed about our Fremont friends after we moved to CA. To say she will be missed hardly seems enough.
  4. Donna Lackas
    I graduated with Genelle in 1956. Also, had some very good times with her n my cousin , Leanna (Blair) Peterson .who introduced her to me.she was a very friendly person n a lot of fun. We had fun at our class reunions also. All three of us worked on the reunion commuter. She will be missed by quite a few people.

    Our thoughts and prayers for Genelle's family. My sister Joyce and I worked with Genelle at Bird Engineering many years ago. She was a very sweet and quiet lady picked me up for work when the office was in Valley for a while. I had no idea she was a resident of Providence. My 98 year old Mother-Martha Christo became a resident in January 2020. I wish I had known she was there; and would have visited with her a bit. God Bless-Joann Christo/Schlapfer
