Genie was filled with joy in her love for her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Her heart overflowed with happiness whenever she spent time with her beloved husband, children, grandchildren, brother, and family. The sheer joy she experienced surrounded by her many friends and family was a delightful sight to behold.
