Genevia A. Guthrie of Fairfield, Texas, was promoted to Guardian Angel on August 4, 2021.
Born in 1942 to Delbert and Marie Wise in Arkansas, Genevia was the oldest of five children. She graduated high school in Irving, Texas. In 1963, she married Billy F. Guthrie of Avalon, Texas. Together they had three children.
Genevia worked as a secretary most of her life. She and Billy moved to Fairfield in 1998. She became a lifetime member of the Ladies Auxiliary. She enjoyed working on projects and volunteering her time helping with programs that supported veterans. Her kind spirit built many friendships that she cherished.
Genevia was a loving Mother and Nana. Her children and grandchildren were the pride and joy of her life. The legacy of her strength, zest for life, and kind spirit will live on through them.
She enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest. She enjoyed the simple things such as a good book, nature’s beauty, gardening, arts, crafts, and quilting. Her hands created many homemade treasures for us to cherish.
Preceded in death and welcoming her to Heaven are her husband, parents, and brother Donald Wise.
Those of us who are missing her but are blessed knowing she is our Guardian Angel are her son Daniel and wife Ann, son Russell and wife Sandy, daughters Denise and Obie; sisters Linda, Vonda, and Kea; 10 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
Arrangements for a Celebration of Life are being planned for a later date.
