Genevieve graduated from Mundelein College in Chicago, IL and was a teacher's aide for East Aurora District 131 for 25 years retiring in 2002.

Her second career began in 1994 as she worked part time for Lutheran Social Services then continued to work until 2012 as a compassionate care giver for Addus HomeCare.

She was preceded in death by her parents John and Marie Baldwin, husband Richard A. Sudges, son Michael R. Sudges, and brother Father John F. Baldwin. Visitation will take place from 4-7 pm on Monday, August 5th, 2019 at Healy Chapel, 332 W. Downer Place, Aurora, IL.

Thank you Terri for the email of your mom's passing. Seeing her picture, looking so much like Aunt Marie, I realize how lucky I was to have had a cousin who let me wear her beautiful wedding dress for my wedding. Her generosity and caring will always be remembered. Rest in peace Genevieve.

So very sorry to hear about Genevieve.
It doesn't seem possible that a year ago we were at Max And Benny's with Fr. John laughing and talking.
My prayers are with all of you.

I am sure they are kibbittzing in heaven.... out of pain and suffering.

My condolences to Mrs. Sudges family and friends. I remember her as my son's teachers aid back in Dist. 131 many years ago. She was very kind and always had a smile for her students. May she rest in peace.

My sincerest sympathy to Gene's family. Gene & I went to grade school and high school together. We sat at the same lunch table every day for all 4 years. Since then we have stayed in touch. I will miss her e-mails and Christmas cards with her little notes about the family. Will always remember the lunch date we had a few years ago. Great little reunion! RIP My Friend.

Gene & I had been close friends for over 40 yrs. keeping in touch when I moved to the west coast 30 yrs. ago until I knew something was wrong when she didn't answer my e-mails. Her daughter was gracious enough to contact me w/the sad news she had passed. I am left w/only precious memories of a great long-time friend I looked up to. She will be missed by all.

Gene was a joy and gracious woman. Her laugh was infectious during our years together at District 131. She worked diligently to change the lives of her students. I will always remember her fondly. My condolences to her family.
