Geneva, fondly known as “Sug” was born April 23, 1926 in Long Lane, Missouri. Sug was a loving wife and mother, a doting grandmother, great grandmother and a gracefully resilient, fiercely independent woman. Sug had a strong work ethic and also volunteered for many organizations throughout her life. She was a country western singer and even debuted with her sister, Betty on the radio when the girls were teens. She was a proud Kansas Citian and a dedicated Royals fan. Sug celebrated life to the fullest. She loved entertaining for friends and family, especially over the holidays, and was always ready to raise a glass to those who couldn’t be there.

She is survived by her children, Barbara, Patty, Nick Jr. and wife Lesa, and Mary.
