She is survived by her sons, Stanley and his wife Edie, and Gary and his wife Susan; son-in-law Buddy Hogue; grandchildren, Shawn, Jill, Justin, Savannah, and Katherine; great grandsons Kaidyn, Ezra and Elijah; great-granddaughters Jessie Jo and Macie; brother, Raymond Ramsower and his wife Mildred; sister Lodell Payne; brother-in-law Sherrill Speer and his wife Sandra; and many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her husband, Stanley; daughter, Diane Speer Hogue; parents Raymond and Lavine Ramsower; brother, Willdale Ramsower; and sister, Mary Virginia Peltier. She was born on October 5, 1931 in her family's home in Wharton, Texas. She graduated from Wharton High School and later attended Wharton County Junior College. She was the first Wharton County Fair Queen and had a passion for twirling, playing the piano, and tennis. She married the love of her life, Stanley, and moved to Trinity where she took great joy in being a wife and mother. After her husband's tragic death in 1964, she exhibited her intelligence, skill and quick wit for business while running the family's auto parts store and cattle ranch. To know Genelle was to know love, and her two greatest loves were God and her family. She will be remembered for her kindness and selflessness because she put others before herself and focused on the best in people. She will be remembered for her inner strength and fearlessness because she was widowed at a young age yet raised three children to love God and their families. She will be remembered for her gratitude because even in her last days she was able to count her blessings. She will be remembered for her joy because in spite of difficult circumstances she was able to celebrate life. She will be remembered for her wisdom because she always provided Godly counsel. Finally, she will be remembered for her strong faith in Christ because she remained unwavering in her love for Him until the very end. Most especially, her grandchildren will miss her special birthday dinners, her competitive nature in ping-pong, tennis, puzzles, and many card games, her handstands, and her endearing support in all of their endeavors. In later years, she lived in Angleton, Houston, and Richmond. She was a faithful member of the Fleetwood Church of Christ in Houston and the Graeber Road Church of Christ in Rosenberg. The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to Dr. Janice A. Mudd, who lovingly provided medical care, and to all the Hospice workers and volunteers from Houston Hospice – El Campo who provided devoted, compassionate care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Fleetwood Church of Christ, 15935 Katy Freeway, Houston, Texas 77094 or Houston Hospice – El Campo, 1102 N. Mechanic, El Campo, Texas 77437. Graveside services will be held at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, May 24, 2012 at Cedar Grove Cemetery in Trinity, Texas. A joyous celebration of her life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, May 25, 2012 at Fleetwood Church of Christ at 15935 Katy Freeway, Houston, Texas.
