Geneva was not only an amazing Mother, but an amazing Nana to many people. Her vibrant personalty was contagious—so full of life. She saw everything in color, and bold ones at that! If it didn't have color, it wasn't any fun. She was the life of the party, funny, and she didn't even know she was. Family meant everything to her, but she also loved to read, plant flowers, any type of gardening, and sewing. She enjoyed all animals, but birds, dogs, and elephants were her favorites. She had the most beautiful collection of elephant decor that she had collected her whole life. She is going to be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know her.

A memorial service will be held at a later date by the family.

DeClue Funeral Home was honored to have served and ministered to the family and friends of Ms. Geneva Towner.
