Geneva Joyce Burk

Geneva was born to Jeffrey Jon Bolf and Albie Kohutek Bolf on January 20th, 1936 in Rowena, Texas.

Geneva married the love of her life on March 19th, 1951. They enjoyed 50 years together and stood by each other’s side until Dale’s death on June 9th, 2001.

Geneva partnered with Dale to run several successful businesses during their life together. She loved socializing with her friends and family on the phone. In a way, the phone was her ministry to friends and family as she had a unique way of reaching out to others. She never lost interest in those dear to her despite her own failing health and always ended each call with “I love you”.

Geneva spent the last 5 months of her life with her daughter, Ty, in The Woodlands where she underwent treatment for cancer at MD Anderson. She enjoyed friends and outings including her first ever cruise which she loved. She expressed immense gratitude for all she experienced while there including celebrations with grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved spending Friday nights at Rico’s with special friends Ronnie Lunsford and Cheryl Weir. She also formed a special bond with Gloria Hagarty while there.

Geneva is survived by her daughter, Linda and husband Chuck of Fort Worth, Texas and her daughter, Ty Davidson of The Woodlands. She is also survived by grandsons, Brandon Davidson and wife, Emily of Spring Texas, Kyle Doty and wife Wanda of Humble, Texas, and Heath Doty and wife Lori of San Angelo, Texas; as well as great-grandchildren; Lauren Davidson, Riley Davidson, Landon Doty, Ava Doty, and Dax Doty.

Geneva was preceded in death by her husband, Dale, and grandson, Shane Doty. She is also preceded in death by her siblings, Dorothy Bolf Swaim, Lester Bolf, Robert Bolf and Lonnie Bolf.

Funeral service will be on Saturday, June 11th at 10:00 AM at Immanuel Baptist Church. The visitation will be Friday, June 10th 6 – 8 PM at Johnson’s Funeral Home.

Pallbearers will be Brandon Davidson, Kyle Doty, Heath Doty, Adam Hernandez, Ronnie Lunsford, and Chuck Doty.

Special thanks to Peggy Raley and Mary and Adam Hernandez for their vigilant care during Geneva’s last few days. She had a special admiration and love for her “second” daughters, Denise Pappas Jackson, Jop Gayle Heflin Hope and Maureen Eustis Harris.

She loved her welcome home sign and balloons provided by Candis Hicks and enjoyed being home. Also special thanks to Geneva’s Sunday School Love Class for all of their friendship and love and a very special thank you to Dr. Robert LeGrande and Jerri Goetz for their care over the many years.
