Genevieve "Si" Langenderfer
FINDLAY: Genevieve "Si" Langenderfer, age 87, was born to Catherine and Frank Simon, as Rose Genevieve Simon, at the Toledo Hospital on August 17, 1924. God called her Home on Monday, July 16, 2012, while she was surrounded by her family.
She is a graduate of Notre Dame Academy and the Mercy Hospital School of Nursing as a Registered Nurse. She remained in touch with many of her fellow grads until just recently. In 1948, she met her husband, Harvey Paul Langenderfer and they married on July 24, 1948 at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Assumption, OH. And he remains a loving and devoted husband. He has been at her side every day of her illness.
She had four siblings, a sister, Rita (Kenny) Hiatt; brothers, John C. (Hannah Pat) Simon, William (Phyllis) Simon and Richard Simon, all deceased.
God blessed her with three sons, Scott (Paula) of Bucyrus, OH, David (Teresa) of Van Buren, OH, Randy (Melanie) of Solon, OH: and a daughter, Sally Burke (Rick) of Canonsburg, PA; along with thirteen grandchildren; and seven great grandchildren. Motherhood was her greatest joy. She loved her own children and everyone who came along with them. "Mom" was a name she heard from so many who benefited from her loving and nurturing. She wasn't happy unless she had a house full of family/friends.
After her children were raised, Genevieve went back to work for the Hancock County Cancer Society as a visiting nurse. After ten years, she retired in 1982 and enjoyed spending time playing Bridge and Maj-Jong with friends. She loved to be active and anywhere with family and friends. She was a devoted member of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Parish for forty-five years, a Eucharistic Minister and a member of the Leo Councilettes.
