Genny was born on September 19, 1933. A native Crowley, LA and a resident of Kaplan for 55 years, she was an active community leader. Her love of 4-H and children led her to serve as a 4-H leader for many years. She was a pink lady at Abrom Kaplan Memorial Hospital, a member of Woodmen of the World, the American Legion Auxiliary and a Catholic Daughter.
She could always be found in the kitchen baking or cooking. She loved creating Grooms’ cakes for friends and family. “Granny” was often seen with her camera at many of her children & grandchildren’s 4-H and school events. Genny loved making arts & crafts, sewing and reading. She enjoyed Mardi Gras and dancing and was passionate about spending time and caring for her family and friends. She didn’t go many places without one of her grandchildren tagging along.
A memorial is scheduled for Saturday, March 21, 2015 at 10 AM at St Francis Cabrini Catholic Church. Father Cedric Sonnier will officiate the ceremony. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Vermilion Parish 4-H Foundation.1105 W Port St, Abbeville, LA 70510. The family would like to thank the staff of Kaplan Health Care for their dedication to her care and comfort.
