She was a lifelong member of St. Hyacinth’s Catholic Church in Detroit. Genevieve enjoyed genealogy and spent many years learning and researching her Polish roots. She also liked gardening and tending to her flowers. Time with her kamushkas at the Eastpointe Senior Center was also valued, but her family and faith mattered most. Her family will miss her lively personality and listening to her many stories.
