Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Genevieve Smith: A Tribute to 90 Years of Wisdom, Love, and Impact

Genevieve Smith, affectionately known as Teacher Gen, was honored on the 7th of January at Potters Zion Moravian Church as she celebrated her remarkable 90th birthday.

Her life’s journey, rich with wisdom, love, and unwavering dedication, was joyfully commemorated in a heartfelt service that illuminated her enduring spirit and lifelong commitment to service.

The celebration continued on the 8th of January with a jubilant banquet hosted at Avec Amour. Attendees shared stories and cherished moments that exemplified Genevieve’s impactful life, highlighting her steadfast dedication to education and community service.

In a testament to her unwavering commitment to education, the family extended her legacy beyond words.

On the 9th of January, a generous donation of school supplies—ranging from books, pens, crayons, markers, binder sheets, folders, bags, pens, pencils, to book bags—was made to Potters Primary School.

This heartfelt contribution honors her dedicated service of over 40 years, nurturing young minds and fostering academic excellence.

“Granny’s impact on education and our community is immeasurable,” expressed J’noure Smith-Kellman, her grandchild. “She believed in the potential of every child, tirelessly working to ensure their success, especially those with special needs.”

Emphasizing her grandmother’s legacy of compassion and dedication, Mrs. Smith-Kellman noted that Genevieve officially fostered 63 children, but her nurturing extended far beyond, impacting countless lives throughout her lifetime.

Donald Smith, Genevieve’s firstborn son, highlighted, “This scholarship is a fitting tribute to her unwavering commitment to students’ success.”

The family announced the establishment of an annual scholarship at Potters Primary School.

This scholarship will honor exceptional students – the top male and female students, the most in need student, and the most improved student during the school’s upcoming graduation ceremony.

As Genevieve Smith’s life was celebrated, the community joined together to honor a woman whose impact will resonate for years to come.

Her unwavering spirit, boundless love, and dedication to education and community service will remain a guiding inspiration for future generations.
