"He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out"
Genevieve Collins Russo, 85, of East Haven passed to go home to her Lord and Savior on Monday, September 14, 2020 at the Connecticut Hospice, Branford. Born on January 19, 1935, she was the daughter of the late Nellie Onofrio and the late Joseph Leo Collins. Survived by stepbrother Edward A. Onofrio. Predeceased by her loving husband of 35 years John F. Russo, two brothers Joseph J. Collins and Gerald J. Collins. She leaves many wonderful friends. To Domenic, a special thanks to him for all his help. She was a member of Our Lady of Pompeii Ladies Guild, a former Lector, and Eucharist minister. A former volunteer at St. Raphael for the ministering of Eucharist and patient discharge departments. Her favorite past time was being in her kitchen and cooking for those she loved.

She will never be forgotten regarding her beautiful cards, remembering each occasion, and for her kindness and generosity to everyone, especially her being a prayer warrior.
