She married Joseph "Harry" Plummer on October 11, 1940 in the Salt Lake Temple. She was a longtime resident of Cedar City, Utah and taught Children's Literature and Communications at Southern Utah University. Her ambition was to help her students succeed and many expressed their gratitude for her teaching. Geneve had a lifelong love of literature, quilted and sewed (pajamas for Christmas!), kept a grand garden, was an excellent cook, and frequently provided in-depth canning lessons. She loved nature, was a good whistler, and enjoyed taking in fall colors on drives with friends in Cedar Canyon. Geneve was a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers organization. Geneve struggled with macular degeneration in her later years, but her perseverance in enjoying life was inspiring. Geneve had boundless energy and could out-work anybody!
