Geneva was proud to be a Charter Member and Past President of the Karinats and Ladies Auxiliary of the Arab Guard of Yarrab Shrine. Her 44 year membership in the El Tehran, Daughters of the Nile brought her great joy. She and Jack were faithful members of Northside Park Baptist Church in Atlanta Georgia. In addition to her charity work, she was a true southern matriarch and quite the cook, often having her family fight over her fried okra before she could get it to the table.

We are thinking of all your family with deepest sympathy.
Geneva and Jack were the best of friends, Tucker Shrine Club will and has been missing them. My love be with them, together, in Paradise.
Jack and Geneva were the best of folks. Jack always had a smile on his face and was one of the most upbeat people I have ever know. Of course, Geneva was there with her smile and dry wit. They were a true example of love, devotion, dedication and generousity to family, friends and the different organizations they belonged to. We are glad we could call your our fiends. We will miss you.
