Helen M. Genis, 91, of Bloomfield and formerly of Granby, passed away Thursday, May 29, 2014.
Born in Granby, daughter of the late Jacob and Victoria (Maronczyk) Genis, she was raised on the family farm in Granby and lived there most all of her life. Her life on the family farm gave her a deep love for animals and appreciation of nature.
She was also a fan of music, particularly country music. She had been employed by Northeast Utilities before her retirement.
She leaves a brother Joseph Genis of Granby; a sister, Ruth Genis of West Hartford; and several nieces and nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews. She was predeceased by brothers Donald and Paul Genis and her sister Grace Forsyth.
Family and friends may gather at noon Saturday, June 7, at the Hayes Huling & Carmon Funeral Home, 364 Salmon Brook Street, Granby, followed by a graveside service at 12:30 p.m. at Granby Cemetery.
Helen's family would like to thank the staff at Seabury in Bloomfield where she received exceptional care the past 11 years. Contributions may be made to the Farmington River Watershed Association, 749 Hopmeadow Street, Simsbury, CT 06070.
