Bio
HOPE -- Genevieve Barbara Ezzell Clark Shedyak, lived 99 years, ten months, and seven days, passed away on Monday, April 7, 2025. She was born on June 15, 1925, in Hungerford, Texas, to the late Herman Emil and Lydia Bernadette Planka Scholz. She graduated from Boling High School and married her beloved Jim Ezzell in 1943. They were blessed with three sons, Michael, Benny, and Thomas Ezzell. They made their home in Point Comfort where they raised their family. The family was involved with the community as Jim helped build the Church of Christ building in Point Comfort. Jim passed away in 1974 after sharing 31 years of marriage with Genevieve. Eventually in 1990, Genevieve moved to the Hope community and was a happy resident there for the next 35 years. She spent those years being very active in the Ezzel Church of Christ, particularly Ladies Bible Class. She was always supportive of working with youth groups especially 4-H and through Peach Valley Christian Youth Encampment, which she and Jim founded in 1963. She loved her volunteer work with the Pink Ladies and was a member of the Garden Club and Bridge Club. She went through many changes and challenges in life but held fast to her faith in God. May her legacy of love for others and walking by faith live on in her family. Survivors are her sons, Michael H. Ezzell and wife, Betty, Benny F. Ezzell and wife, Glenda, and Thomas E.
