Geneva enjoyed anything that kept her moving. She loved being outside in her garden tending to her flowers. When she did take a moment to relax it was usually in front of the sewing machine where she enjoyed sewing, embroidery, and quilting. Time with her family was spent around the table putting together the latest puzzle.
