We just loved Maire, and will truly miss her.  We really enjoyed her telling stories about her life and family.  She went on two vacations with us ( and the grandchildren).  The luau in Maui was great, and Jayden and Giselle went on stage to hula dance.  At Disneyland, Marie was all smiles and a real trooper.  She really liked the CARS roller coaster ride.  Marie gave us many Iris plants.  We will always remember her when we watch them bloom.  We hope she will rest in peace.  Bless her and keep her, Lord.


Jenkins / Shuman / Willis Family and Friends:

Gen was unique to the entire Shuman / Willis Clan. While a number of the younger cousins did not know her as well as we older ones, there were many of us that grew up with her, before she relocated to Calif.  Genethyl was and will be talked about in our family get togethers for generations to come. She was deeply engrained in her Faith. Carolyn and I last saw her a few years ago, when we flew to CA and had an opportunity to visit with her. In later phone conversations, she would always encourage me to stay in the church organization that our grandfather founded.  Her Great Grandfather was a pioneer in the Atlanta and Savannah Georgia commercial Real Estate Development. Her Grandfather was a pioneer in creating a House of Worship in Atlanta that is still thriving today.  Her father was a dynamic Gospel Minister and her mother a renowned organist. Gen came from a quality background.   To her son Jayson Jenkins and family, her brother and sister in law Mr & Mrs Timothy Shuman,  sister Sheila Shuman, nephews and nieces and on behalf of the over 200 cousins around the globe, we send our prayers and love.
