Genevieve Sounia died too young. A mother and wife, a soldier, a woman of faith, Genevieve lost her battle with breast cancer at age 35. But as her disease progressed, her commitment to life and to serving others grew. Courageously facing her own illness, Genevieve found ways to make a profound difference for other cancer patients. At her church, she spoke out about her journey and the importance of prevention, healthy living and giving back. Genevieve also became the first guest at the Clara McLean House. Here, she found a comforting place of respite where she could play with her daughters and share time with her family during a difficult stage of her treatment. How fitting that she would introduce this groundbreaking resource to the community it would serve.
Genevieve was a beloved member of our community. Her memory and legacy live on through the organizations she founded and her inspiration of others to give of their time and resources to improve health in our community and provide compassionate care and support to every patient.
