Genevieve P. Reinertsen of Dunbar, Wisconsin, born February 23, 1926, passed away November 8, 2018. She is survived by her husband, Don Z. Reinertsen; her daughters, Pamela Schneider (Thomas) and Cindy Pinera (Carlos); her grandchildren, Jon Schneider and Lauren Autrey and her great grandchildren, Andrew Autrey and Amelia, Weston, and Hayden Schneider.
Genevieve was an avid gardener and loved to pore over the seed catalogs in the winter, always planning next year’s garden. She loved to read and instilled the love of reading and learning in her children. She ran an insurance agency in Brookfield, Wisconsin, with her husband while raising two children back in the 50s and 60s. She was a modern woman, and she believed you needed to stand up to be counted, to never assume that anything is only about you, and to always look at the big picture. She was a very gentle, sweet woman, an easy conversationalist, a pleasant housemate, and one of the few people in this world able to keep Don Z. in line. She will be dearly missed.
Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, November 14 at 4 p.m. in St. Joseph's Historic Catholic Church.
