THERESE GENNE Obituary
78, of Springfield, VA died unexpectedly October 21, 2017. A tried and true New Yorker, Therese lived many of her early years in New York City and worked at Macy's in the IT department where she met her husband, John W. Genne. The two moved to Plainsboro, NJ where they raised their two sons, David and Douglas. Mrs. Genne continued her career at Princeton University in the fund-raising office and worked there for over 20 years. Upon retirement, she and her husband traveled the world enjoying all that it had to offer. When not roaming the globe, she was home actively engaged with her parish. She moved to Springfield, VA after her husband passed away to live with her sister and be closer to her two sons and their families. Therese is survived by her sons David and Douglas; David's wife Crystal King; Douglas; wife Constance and their daughter Sarah. Survivors also include her sister, Kathleen Cobb of Springfield, VA; her brother and sister-in- law, James and Eleanor Moore of Chapel Hill, NC and her many nieces, nephews and other relatives. A Mass celebrating Therese's life will be held 11am, Saturday, November 4th at St. Bernadette's Church in Springfield, VA. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in the name of Therese Genne to the MaryKnoll Sisters of Maryknoll New York; a Catholic charity Therese supported for many years.

I worked with Therese at Princeton University for several years. She was a lovely person to know and work with and I'm so sorry to learn of her passing. I remember her love of travel and truly enjoyed hearing her accounts of vacations taken to far away places. My sincere condolences to her family. May she rest peacefully in the arms of the Lord.
