Geneva enjoyed nature and sitting on her porch watching the deer and a little chipmunk that came to visit in the spring. She enjoyed watching the lightening bugs as it got dark along with feeding and watching the birds, especially Cardinals.

Geneva was constantly thinking of others and was known to create little arts and crafts for the people she was thinking about just to brighten their day with a smile.
