The family wishes to thank the people of the Masonic Care Community for the enduring care and love they showed our mother over the eight years of her residence there. They made her last years and final hours a celebration of life and a true home during those times her family couldn't be with her. They will be in our prayers. Private funeral arrangements are being made with Heintz Funeral Service Inc. There will be a memorial mass announced at a later date. Her family requests your consideration of the Masonic Care Community Memorial Fund in memory of Mrs. Genevieve Gengel.
