Genivive Loriene Devlin, age 83, passed away at Perry Lutheran Home in Perry, IA on August 24, 2023.
Born on February 10, 1940, in Indiana, Genny lived there with her family until her teens when they moved to Arizona. In 1967 Genny married Ronald Devlin (deceased) and they had two sons, Patrick and Sean. She worked for Cigna as a medical records clerk and retired after working there over 20 years.
Genny attended Missouri Park Church of God in Phoenix and made many wonderful friends and memories there. She and her sons lived on Pinchot Ave where they were close friends with many of the neighbors, especially the Motley's, who treated Genny and her sons like family. Genny was a loving mother and devoted grandma. She was known for her sense of humor and caring heart.
Left to cherish her memory are her sons, Patrick (Summer) Devlin of North Carolina and Sean (Nicole) Devlin of Waukee, IA, her grandchildren Ciaran Devlin and Paige & AnnMarie Devlin and other relatives and friends.
A celebration of life is being planned for later this fall.
