Genevieve K. Cal, 94, passed peacefully at home in Stamford, CT, surrounded by family members, on Thursday, January 15, 2026.
Genevieve was born in Stamford on July 26, 1931 to the late Albina and Izydor Koziol, and was a lifelong resident of Stamford. Genevieve was raised in the South End and attended Holy Name of Jesus School and Stamford High School, graduating in 1948. Shortly after, she began working at Yale & Towne, where she met the love of her life, Genaro Cal. They were married in 1954 at Holy Name of Jesus Church.
While raising her nine children, Genevieve supported the family business, Calko Die Casting Company, as its bookkeeper. Later, she returned to her career full-time, working as a bookkeeper at Palmer's Electric in the South End until the age of eighty.
