Genevieve Wolters, 93, Barnesville, MN
Genevieve H. Wolters, 93, died Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2008, at Good Samaritan Center in Barnesville.
Genevieve was born Feb. 24, 1915, in Sibley, Iowa, to Hulda (Eberhardt) and Franklin Green. She was raised on the farm during her early life with her parents and siblings moving from Sibley to Worthington, then on to Slayton, Fergus Falls, and finally Breckenridge. She attended rural elementary schools and graduated from Breckenridge High School in 1933.
Following graduation, Genevieve moved with her sister, Kathryn, to Minneapolis, where she attended and graduated from North Central Bible College.
Genevieve married Glen V. Wolters on Aug. 6, 1948 in Webster, S.D. Together they spent their married life in Breckenridge raising three children.
They were married 44 years before Glen's death in 1992.
She was a devoted wife, mother and servant to her Lord and family members. She worked mostly as a homemaker. Later she worked part time as a housekeeper for several years.
She raised three children: James Glen and Richard William Wolters and one daughter, Gloria (Wolters) Johnson.
Genevieve was especially devoted to her loving husband stating many times "we both had a wonderful life together — serving God and always attending church."
She took special pride knowing that she raised her children in the church to serve God stating on many occasions, "train your children when they are young in the way that they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it."
Genevieve cherished her work and devotion to her church, The Church of God, in Wahpeton, N.D. She was an active member for over 65 years, teaching Sunday school, a member of the women's ministry and served as treasurer for many years. She was a woman of great faith and spoke boldly about her Lord
Genevieve will always be remembered for her ability to prepare and serve impromptu meals to her family, friends and often strangers alike. She welcomed everyone into her home and felt this was her ministry, such an example of love and Christianity.
She will be greatly missed, cherished and loved by her remaining family and friends.
Genevieve is survived by her two sons, James (Pam) Wolters, and their children, Ryan (Marisa), Ben (Erin) and Sarah Wolters of Fargo; and Richard (Penny) Wolters, and their children, Matthew, Joshua and Ashlee, Barnesville; and one daughter Gloria (Gregory) Johnson, Bismarck, N.D., and their children Jennifer (fiancé, Rivers Mitchell) and Jesse (Suzanne) Johnson; and great-grandchildren, Emily, Tristen and Kyra Wolters, and Krew and Kolden Johnson.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Hulda Green; her husband, Glen V. Wolters; sisters: Dorothy V. Hooper, Evelyn Andel/Mackovicz, and Kathryn Slaby; brothers, Charles F. Green, Carl E. Green and Franklin T. Green.
Visitation: Friday from 4 to 7 p.m., with a prayer service at 7 p.m., at the funeral home, and one hour prior to the service at the church
Service: 11 a.m. Saturday, at Valley Christian Assembly, Breckenridge
Clergy: Rev. Gary Hooper
Burial: Riverside Cemetery, Breckenridge
Funeral Home: Joseph Vertin and Sons Funeral Home, Breckenridge
