At the age of 19 she married the love of her life and then became the devoted mother to three daughters and four grandchildren. Genevieve loved her family and friends unconditionally and she selflessly provided a warm and caring home for all of them .Her husband and children always came first. When her grandchildren came along, she was affectionately called "Babcia." Genevieve was an incredibly strong, beautiful, talented, and nurturing woman who touched the lives and became a role model to everyone she met. She was happiest when she was cooking her Polish delicacies, hosting family holiday celebrations, taking care of and helping to raise her cherished grandchildren, dining out and shopping with her daughters, spending time working in her yard, boating on Narragansett Bay and taking care of her beloved puppies. Nothing was impossible with this great lady and when difficult times came along, she gave the hope, encouragement and advice that were needed to move on.
