Her grandchildren were her pride and joy. Geneva's happiness came from her family, friends, and her strong faith. Geneva was selfless, strong, and had the kindest heart. She truly touched everyone's life she came across. Geneva was our "Angel" here on earth, and has gone to be an Angel of the Lord. We are forever grateful for the impact she left on every one of our lives. Family and friends may call from 5:00 to 8:00 pm on Tuesday, June 30th at the Lane Family Funeral Home Austintown Chapel.
