Genevieve Catherine Green Paulshock

Genevieve Catherine Paulshock was the daughter of Milton H. Green Sr., an Esso Station owner and lawn mower repair and sharpening business owner, and Lucille M. Green, a homemaker. She graduated from Kenwood High School in 1939 and married Thomas Paulshock Sr. from Hazelton, PA in 1945. She worked for Glenn L. Martin for five years until the birth of her first child, Tommy, in 1947. She was a school guard for 32 years at St. Joseph Fullerton. She also had a snowball stand for 17 years right in front of their home on Belair Rd. That was during a time when customers could stop on Belair Rd. in Perry Hall, buy their ten cent snowball and eat it (while their car was parked on Belair Rd.). She made her own flavors and cooked her own chocolate flavoring. She did her father’s book keeping for their family Esso Station. She sold Christmas wreaths to help raise money for her family, and she also delivered telephone books. Genevieve ran a Wholesale Bait business for 50 years! She delivered bait to her many customers, to many she was known as the “Worm Lady”. She made many trips to Canada to pick up her worms. She made crab cakes, codfish cakes and salads from her own recipe for her son’s seafood business, Bill’s Seafood which is connected to her home. Her oldest son Tommy started the business in her basement where she waited on many early morning customers. She helped each of her children with their businesses.

Genevieve raised seven children, Tommy Paulshock Jr. (of Perry Hall), Diane Hinsche (of Ellicott City), Brenda Paulshock (of Kingsville), Jackie Hacke (of Perry Hall), Robert Paulshock (of Forest Hill), and Bill Paulshock (of Kingsville). She is predeceased by her son John Paulshock who passed away in 2010, her great-grandson, Ryan who passed away in 1998 and her husband Tom who died in 1980. She is survived by seventeen grandchildren and twenty-five great-grandchildren. On April 13, 2015 she passed away in her home with her family by her side. She was 92 years old. She was known to everyone as “Mom-Mom” and she gave us years of laughter, advise, and sayings that we will always cherish. Most importantly she taught us the true meaning of family.
