Heaven welcomed a new resident on October 12, 2021, Genevieve "Genny" P. Neely. Genny was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. to Peter and Jennie Papatopoli on March 8, 1933. She is survived by the love of her life, Chuck, her husband of 64 years and two children: Nina (Thomas) and Chuck (Sherri). Three grandchildren blessed Genny's life: Megan, Kenneth (Darcy) and Grayson. Genny will join her parents and her brothers, Eugene, Peter, Anthony, Harry and sister Rosalie, who have been patiently waiting for her to join them.

Genny graduated from Coughlin High School in Wilkes Barre, PA and started a 47 year career as a Registered Nurse when she graduated from Mercy Hospital School of Nursing in Wilkes-Barre. She furthered her education by earning her B.S.N. at Neumann University, where she was the first president of the Neumann Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau, the scholastic nursing honor society.
