I use to work at the funeral home and she was always joyful and friendly. Rod, Chad and Todd I am sure sorry for your loss. She will be missed greatly.
~ Larry Nation - May 27, 2015
What a lovely woman and dear friend to my mother, Wanda Kaiser.
I, too, like my sister Sandy Praeger shared in her condolence message, have memories of bridge, TOHAB, supper club, PCC/golf outings. I also remember mother and Genia talking about books they loved. And, love of books was something I inherited. Genia's last act of friendship towards my mother was making sure her hair was "just right" before her visitation/memorial service.

Dear Rod, Chad and Todd ~ I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your beautiful mother! As a child your Mom was my inspiration! Her sense of style was unmatched in Paola. Her home was the most creatively decorated (and that was hard considering the age of the Tower Street house!) in town and she was always perfectly "turned out." It was a pleasure to know her. I'm sure she has already organized a bridge group in Heaven.

Chad, Rod , Todd and families, our thoughts and prayers are with you at the loss of your Mother and what a gift for the opportunity to Celebrate her Life at the service on Sat. The eulogy, music and video were wonderful tributes to her. What an honor for us to have known your Mom and Dad through the many years. They touched the lives of many families providing peace and comfort at normally difficult times. I cherish my recent visits with your Mom at Vintage Park. My plan was to cheer her and when I left I was the one that left with happy and positive thoughts.
I considered the snowflakes of the day were sent as hugs and kisses from above and the welcoming of your Mom by your Dad and many family and friends and the celebration they were having in their heavenly home. God's love and peace to all from Carolyn and Larry Jacobs.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Chad,Rod, Todd and families on the passing of a very special lady who will be missed greatly by all that knew her. Our families (Achey's, Fannan's and Gilliland's) go back for generations and we are proud to have had Genie & Chuck in our life, and to know Chad and his family and all that they do for our community.
One of the fond memories that we have of Genie was years ago when we lived in town and she was on the City Council. The out of state owner of the house next door to us approached Genie for help as she felt that the old cars (she called junk) that were in our yard was affecting the sale of her property and she hoped Genie could do something about it. Boy,was she surprised when Genie informed her that one of the so called pieces of junk belonged to her husband!
~ Charles & Helen (Fannan) Gilliland - March 2, 2015
Genia was one of the smartest women i knew. She taught me so much about being a better person. I looked forward to seeing her every Wednesday morning at 9am to do her hair. She was very proud oh her family. Her experience she had in life was very heart warming. I am more than blessed to have had her in my life.
~ raechel stephens - February 28, 2015
Strong and kind; she always made me feel like she was a force....(and one to be reckoned with....:) When she talked, I listened. And I liked listening to her. I'm glad she's at rest. I love you.
~ Benji Hanks - February 28, 2015
I have many memories of Genie, Chuck and Roy! They were all wonderful, loving, and especially giving to their community! My Dad, Darrell used to deliver firewood to the funeral home and I would ride along to be his helper.
Please accept my sympathy for your loss. God's speed Mrs. Wilson
~ Kelly Cuthbertson - February 28, 2015
My children (Toni and Penny) and I have many fond memories as we lived across the street and enjoyed playing and riding bicycles etc. in the parking lot. Genie was always there with a smile and cookies. She will be missed.
~ Shirley Piper Deisch - February 28, 2015
Jami and I send our sympathies and love to the entire Wilson family. Sorry we couldn't make it back, but know we are thinking of you all and the kindness that Genie always showed us.
~ Aaron Thomas - February 28, 2015
Family,
Sorry I couldn't make it to the visitation and funeral.
As a joke recently, while in a funeral home in St. Louis, my wife, Anna, asked me if I was comfortable in a funeral home, because she knows about family dinners at the funeral home. When I tell others about the family dinners, I always use Genie as my go-to story.
On one of our Christmas Eve visits while I was still a kid, Genie asked me to go downstairs to get more chairs. My punchline in the story is about how I refused because I was scared to past a dead body in the dark. But, she went down there with me and everything was fine.
I miss you all.
~ Andrw Thomas - February 28, 2015
Chad, Sympathy and prayers are being sent to you from the class of 71! And I want you to know you are in my thoughts. It is strange to be sending you condolences, when it is usually you, that comforts all of us. You were so good to your Mom and I know you made her very happy. Be good to yourself.
~ Marla Dilliner - February 27, 2015
To all the Wilson boys, You have to know how much both your parents meant to this community. So sorry for your loss but have comfort in all the love and memories you share.
~ Nichelle Johnson - February 27, 2015
Chad,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. She was always such a lovely woman to be around.
~ Lorin Crawford - February 27, 2015
Dear Chad and Family, I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I remember Genia from church and from social gatherings with my grandmother, Mildred Russell. Genia was a very classy lady and I have fond memories of her. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
~ Julie Russell Wilcox - February 26, 2015
I did Genie's hair for 13 years! Genie Was a very classy lady. She was truly a lady. Of all of my memories of Genie, the one I remember most is the advice she gave me about marriage. She said "If you can make it sound like it was his idea, you will get a lot more done."
I visited her a few times in the years after I left Paola and all she had to do was hear my voice and she knew who I was. I will miss her very much.
~ Melissa (Miss) Brummel - February 26, 2015
Chad, Len and I are so sorry to hear about your Mothers' passing. She will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her, a wonderful and gracious lady. You and your family will be in our thoughts and Prayers... God Bless
~ Len&Patty Jensen - February 26, 2015
Rod, Chad and Todd,
Your mom is so much a part of my memories of Paola and my family. She and my mom, Wanda Kaiser, played golf and bridge together, enjoyed dinner parties and sharing books and even had a club devoted to sharing experiences. Remember TOHAB? That stood for "talk of husbands and babies". Genie was always perfectly dressed for whatever the occasion. She was the perfect hostess. Since Rod and I shared October birthdays in our early years our moms held shared birthday parties for us, which made sense because we had the same friends. Our parents were married a few months apart in the same year during WWII. So when the time came for their 50th wedding anniversary they decided that sharing that event also made sense. So the "war brides and their warriors" as they called themselves in the invitation had a big celebration that included two other couples that also shared anniversaries at about the same time, the Rowletts and Millers. A TV station from Kansas City came to Paola to interview the couples, who after all those years were still best friends. Paola really was a special place and we had wonderful families that combined felt like one big happy family. I miss my parents, Jack and Wanda, and hold dear those wonderful memories that include Chuck and Genie and that extended family. She was a wonderful person and I know you have many wonderful memories to keep her close.
~ Sandy Kaiser Praeger - February 26, 2015
I was glad to have known Genia. She was a very special person with a very strong spirit. My condolences to her family.
~ Jeanette Mooney - February 26, 2015
Genie was one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met. I am a night shift CNA at Vintage Park & I have absolutely LOVED going in to her room to visit her or help her out. She was full of life, funny, so respectful and so sweet. I'm truly thankful for the time that I was blessed to be able to know her. She was such a beautiful soul & made huge differences in the lives of so many. She lived a great life from what I hear! She's looking down on all of us smiling, not suffering anymore :) God bless her. I pray peace on her family and close friends dealing with her loss. She's in a better place now :)
~ Mia Crapisi - February 26, 2015
Dear Rod, Chad, Todd,
It has been said that it's not the years in your life that count, but, rather the life in those years. Your mother had both. Her 89 years were full of life. She knew how to live, but was not pretentious, although, she could have been. Rogenia was comfortable with who she was because she knew Whose she was. Genia loved the Lord and, no doubt, it was His light that shone so brightly through her, radiating on all those around her.
Kevin and I are thankful to have known your mother and be witness to the special bond shared between her and our mother. Seeing our mothers together at times was quite humorous, but, at all times an authentic relationship built on trust and just simply enjoying each other's company was plain to see.
She will be missed so very much by our family.
If Kathy were here, we could share tender stories about your mother sitting around the table drinking coffee and eating pound cake (something she loved so much!).
Stay joyful. She would choose joy for you. No doubt, her joy is now complete in Jesus.
With fond memories and appreciation.
~ Kevin Smith and Kathy Baker - February 26, 2015
Very sorry to hear this Chad. Your mom was a very classy lady. Your family always provided chairs for activities at grandmas Rest Home and were always very kind. I acted as pallbearer for many patients with no family. The first time your mom noticed how nervous I was and spoke kind words to help me along. She and so many others are and were members of a community almost invisible now but they brought a vitality and grace to that city for which we should all be grateful.
~ William Peak - February 25, 2015
What a smart, classy woman! My memories include gatherings -Genie with my Mom Jane Shawver, Elizabeth Rowlett, Bev, Becky, June, Genie Foote, and so many others, for iced coffee, or playing bridge, or at the pool at Wallace Park- 4th of July fireworks at their house by the "North School", good friends for so long. I grew up on hilarious stories of their parties and over the top antics. Genie was part of a generation that truly knew how to enjoy the moment.
~ Gail Shawver Frapolli - February 25, 2015
Dear Chad & Family; So sorry to hear of Genie's passing. She was always so kind & caring & helped us through our bad time. We appreciate you & all your family does for the community. Our thoughts & prayers are with you.

One of our favorite people and long time family friend will be missed. Audene's favorite story is when she went to see the Doctor to confirm her late in life pregnancy with Stacey and asked Genia to go along for support. The assistant looked at Audene and said "We will see your daughter (pointing to Jeannie) now". Genia always looked great and young!
