During the 1970’s and 1980’s Geneva and Archie owned and operated Fair Acres Shell in Dublin. Geneva loved flowers and was a member of the Dublin Garden Club for many years. She also served as a Girl Scout leader in Dublin during the 1960’s and enjoyed taking the troop on campouts to Claytor Lake. Geneva and Archie loved to travel and were fortunate to be able to visit many parts of the United States and Europe.
