Genevieve was born January 28, 1919, in Brooklyn, New York. When she was eight, the family moved to Springfield Gardens, Long Island, New York. Genevieve met her husband Leroy at Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, Massachusetts. They were married August 28, 1948; it was a sweltering day in Springfield Gardens. They moved to the Sturtevant Family Farm in Milo, atop a hill with the best view of Mount Katahdin to the north. Genevieve and Leroy were blessed with four daughters. She was a co-caretaker of elderly folks who boarded in their home. As a pastor's wife, Gen was a helpmate to Roy, who pastored the Church of the Nazarene in Milo. Later, after his passing she attended the Dover-Foxcroft Church of the Nazarene. She enjoyed singing, directing children's choirs, participated in local cantatas, festivals and service clubs. Genevieve was creative and was an accomplished seamstress and knitter, cook and baker, painter, and gardener; especially growing African violets. She enjoyed beauty in its many forms; music, art, nature and fashion. She loved to laugh. She enjoyed raising dogs; collies, her cockapoo, and West Highland terriers. Spending time with her grandchildren brought much joy.
