She attended Madison High School where she enjoyed playing basketball and softball as a Madison Ram graduating in the class of 1976. She attended MTSU for several semesters but ended up enjoying working at Opryland USA more. Little did she know that she would be starting her career for life working in the restaurant industry. She worked at Opryland for 8+ years and made many lifelong friends there learning the restaurant business. From there she went to work for Wendy’s Restaurants and never looked back. In 2021 she celebrated 40 years with the Wendy’s organization. During her tenure she made too many memories and friends to count! Gena’s biggest treasure was loving on her nieces, nephews, great nephew, and niece, and Jaye T. She was always the “Fun Aunt” and loved to shower them all with whatever made them happy!
