I met Miss Geneva at Good Sam's. I have missed seeing her in the dining room. She was always so well dressed and professional looking. She is at rest until the call to awaken into paradise.

As a fashionista before her time, my grandma was designing her own clothing and jewelry for decades. She was a gifted designer and seamstress during an era of no "pinterest" or countless fashion magazines to review for inspiration.
She once said during an interview that if she could have had any career that she wished, it would have been that of a fashion designer.
She and Grandpa Cook enjoyed years of dressing up for a night out on the town to dance together to their favorite swing tunes. They loved that time together.
We will miss her sweet laugh and her moments of elegance.
