She was born at her home in Milford on September 29, 1925 to the late Axel and Rose Lagier Aronson.

She attended nursing school and worked at Tilo of Stratford.  After marriage, she moved to Meadowside Road and raised her family. Genevieve was active in Scouting as a Den Mother and later retired after 20 years from Alexander’s at the Post Mall.  Gen spent her retirement years helping others, visiting family and friends, especially longtime friend Gina Proto, in her little gray car.
