Passed away peacefully with family at her side on December 14, 2019, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s at the age of 95.
As a teacher for many years in Ormstown she often taught two generations of the same family. She was a tireless volunteer with Scouts Canada and the Royal Canadian Legion and was very involved in the community and her family.
The last of her generation, she will be sorely missed by her two surviving sons Dee and Sam, her five grandchildren, Steven (Ladouceur), Matthew, Sarah-Kate (Santos), Spencer and Jarrett and her great grandchild Jay (Ladouceur). She was a mother figure to many folks but no more so than Tony Ma.
Released into the hands of our Lord, she can now rejoin her husband Douglas, her son Jay, her parents Sam and Elsie Cullen, her brother Lindsay Cullen and her sister Myrtle Lobdell.
Visitation will take place at the McGerrigle Funeral Home, Ormstown on Friday, December 27th, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Funeral service from St. Paul’s United Church, Ormstown, on Saturday, December 28 at 2:00 p.m. Interment at Union Cemetery.

I just read about my former teacher Mrs. Glover who taught me many years ago. I too became a teacher and retired five years ago after teaching for thirty-nine years in the Maritimes. I have many memories of spending time in her class as well as the girl guides she helped with throughout my youth. She was a wonderful person and friend to my family. My condolences to Dee, Sam and family.

Genevieve was a very special person. She was a dear and loyal friend to my Mum, Valera Moore and I will never forget the kindness and generosity she showed us Robb kids when we were growing up.
