Joel Catherine Genovese

Joel Catherine Genovese was born on December 25, 1929 and was a life-long resident of the New Orleans area. Joel was a proud Christmas baby, spiritedly naming Santa Clause as the second man in her life, only to her beloved, Sal. While some knew her as Mrs. Genovese, Joel, or Mom, most recognized and loved her as “Memaw”. She was a glitzy lady, dressed to the nines for all occasions, completing every outfit with a spectacular set of earrings. She left this earth on August 3, 2020 but her sparkle and style will be remembered for years to come. Lucky are those who had the pleasure of calling her a friend or family, as she made all around her feel welcomed and loved. Joel was a true social butterfly. She enjoyed a tasty cosmo, good dancing music, and friendly conversation with the ones she loved. A striking woman, she captured attention wherever she went and always had a great story about a stranger she met. She lived a charmed life full of love, happiness, and pride. Her glamour will never be topped. “Kiss kiss”.
