Mavis Genz Obituary
Mavis had worked at C. R. Meyer Co., later at Peace Lutheran Church and Second Handlers Estate Sales. She was a member of Calvary Lutheran Church and formerly of Peace Lutheran Church. She was a member of the Church Women United, Bethel Home Auxiliary, Red Hat Ladies, and 50 years in the Twentieth Century Club. She was also a Poll Worker for the Town of Algoma.
Mavis is survived by a daughter, Carla (Todd) Genz-Ewald of Oshkosh; a brother, Junior (Carolyn) Rineck of Pickerel, WI; nieces, nephew, great-nieces and great-nephews; special friends, Alice and Jamie Roberts; and special "grandchildren", Tyler, Jessica, and Kristin Roberts. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, a sister Maryllis Hensel, nieces and nephews.
A funeral service for Mavis will be held Sunday, March 19, 2017, at 4:00 p.m. at Calvary Lutheran Church, Rev. Tim Routh officiating. Visitation will be held Sunday at the church from 2 p.m. until the service. Entombment will be in Lake View Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers a memorial is being established to Calvary Lutheran Church and Jones Park in the Town of Algoma.
Mavis' family thanks the staff at Westbrook Manor for their help and care.
If roses grow in Heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me, place them in my mother's arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her I love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day, but there's an ache within my heart that will never go away.

Dear Carla, I am so grateful that your father and mother were such wonderful friends to my parents and our family! She became "Mamis" to all of us about 24 years ago when Josh was a toddler and could not pronounce her name correctly. We know that we will see her again and wonder what she and my mother are sorting and organizing in Heaven. I know it was a joyous reunion! Our love and sympathy to you, Todd and all of your family.
