John 14: 2-3

In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. NKJV

Geneva Hogan Toussaint was born to the late Cleveland Hogan, Sr. and Flavia Smith Hogan, a cherished daughter who grew into a woman of deep faith, compassion, and strength. She was a devoted member of _Ebenezer Christian Community Fellowship where she served faithfully as “Mother of the Church,” a title that reflected her nurturing spirit and unwavering dedication to her congregation.

Geneva’s life was a testament to love in action. She had a passion for feeding people, talking to people, and helping people whenever and wherever she could. Whether it was a warm meal, a listening ear, or a kind word, Geneva gave freely of herself. She loved her family deeply and carried that love into her community, touching countless lives with her generosity and grace.

Her legacy continues through her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, each of whom carry a piece of her spirit. Geneva leaves to cherish her memory: Eight sons, Albert (Duan) Gabriel, Jr., Gerald Gabriel, Karl Gabriel, Adam Gabriel, Brett (Natasha) Gabriel, Corey Gabriel, Tremayne Gabriel, and Justin Toussaint; Four daughters: Kathy (Sylvester) Spears, Lisa Gabriel, Carmella Jones, and Trina Gabriel; Three God-children: Chantell Chambers, Dalton Thomas, and Lemeka Allen; 58 grandchildren, 67 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great-grandchildren—her love and legacy—along with a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends who will forever treasure her memory.

Geneva was preceded in death by her parents, Cleveland and Flavia Smith Hogan; her first husband, Albert Gabriel, Sr.; her second husband, Adam Toussaint; five children, Sonyia Cleveland, Kenneth Gabriel, Bridget Gabriel, Dwayne Gabriel, and Dana Gabriel; three grandchildren, Aliza Gabriel and Tanasa Francis; five brothers, Cleveland, Thomas, Alvin, Eugene, and Edward Hogan; and six sisters, Edna Chesley, Dorothy Gale, Mary Morris, Martha Tucker, Aletha Charles, and Gracie Davis.

Though Geneva’s earthly journey has ended, her spirit lives on in the countless lives she touched. She will be remembered as a woman of faith, a pillar of strength, and a beacon of love. Her family and friends take comfort in knowing that she is now reunited with her loved ones who have gone before her, resting peacefully in the arms of the Lord
