In Memoriam: Geneva Patterson

A place to share memories, photos, condolences on the passing of Geneva

Condolences from Jas and family

I know that no words would make this any easier so we are sending lots of love from all of us. Thank you so much for sharing your mom with us. XOXO


From Stacy

Dear Pat and Uncle Donald...we just got the news here. So sorry. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I have many paintings, drawings and prints to remember Aunt G by, but the most favorite thing I still have from her is a ballet coloring book, that I still bring out occasionally to color in. I always loved when we came to St. Louis to visit. Love you all very much. Stacy (and Steve, Amanda and Aidan).


I am experiencing deep bitter-sweet sorrow for my mom's aunt, who just passed away. She lived to the great age of 95 years old. She had a life-long loving and supportive husband, who was still holding her hand while she passed this afternoon under the loving care of their daughter's house in West Virginia. I have never know someone who has taken such a vested interest in sending me or my siblings the best presents for Christmas and our Birthdays. Her cards were always written from the heart with the warmest wishes. She will be dearly missed by the Maness Family. May her soul rest in peace!


Condolences from Barbara

Dear Pat and uncle Don my deepest condolences it was so sweet that Don and Gee hold hand till the end. We all being so fortunate to share this life with Gee till her great age love you both and my deepest condolences to Ron and his large family love you all Barbara Maness and my all family


Condolences from Frank and Ginny

Words cannot express our feelings at this time. Gee and Ginny were the last of their generation, and Ginny is taking Gee's passing very hard. ... Please let us know if there is anything we can do, and if there are any services for Gee in your area, all of us, the kids and Ginny and I want to make sure flowers are there. I called all of our family and they of course send their prayers and condolences. Where ever your beliefs say you are going, Gee is going to the best place. I share many memories of my early days in St. Louis where I had some great moral support and exc ellent assistance as I became a part of the family. Stay strong, and please, please, let us stay in touch

Welcome to the pages for GENEVA PATTERSON

Friends and family have been active on Facebook, and it's been great to share messages there.  But Facebook is here today, gone tomorrow, and I'd like to have a more lasting record.  I hope family and friends will share thoughts here.  Much like funeral parlors' online condolence pages, but with more possibilities for sharing photos and thoughts, this blog is devoted to G.

How to Participate

If you're on Facebook, I'll have tried to set up a user account for you.  Log in with your first name, written as you normally capitalize it: like Ron, or JoAnn.  Your password is your Facebook email address (or address you've used to write me personally) with an exclamation point both before and after, like !pat@patp.us!  ALL lower case, no matter how you might sometimes write it.

If I don't have your email address, I couldn't sign you up, so please try signing up yourself (I'll have to shut that down if I can't block spammers) - if you have trouble, send me email and I'll make the account for you.

Ready to log in, if you so choose: Ananda, Andrew, Angela, Arne, Barbara, Beth, Bob, Bryan, Carlie, Chris, Christy, Dawn, Diana, Don, Erin, Flori, Frank, Gunilla, Jamie, Jan, Jasmine, Jay, Jerry, Jill, JoAnn, Judith, Kristian, Margaret, Marguerite, Pat, Patrick, Raynell, Rob, Ron, Samantha, Stacy, Sue.  I don't have email for Keaton or Jaimie.

I've taken the liberty ...

of copying Facebook messages over here.  After all, you'd all already put them online.  You can log in and edit or remove what you want.

I cannot get this version of BlogEngine to play nicely with the site pages I've had for Geneva's artwork. After endless attempts, I have set those pages up on my own (genealogy) site. Better there than nowhere.
