Eugenia Louise Wild

Eugenia Louise Wild was born to Edward Herman Wild and Minnie Bertsch Wild in Broooklyn New York. She was the last of four children. Only she and her sister Catherine Skinner survived to adulthood.

After 1977 Genie worked and raised two children, Edward and Fredrika Schweers on her own while continuing to further her education. In 1982 she was admitted to the degree of Master of Arts in Education.

She worked at many jobs over the course of her life. All of them were centered on helping people. From advocacy, to teaching, to grief counseling. She loved the arts, nature, and gardening. She never stopped educating herself and learned everything she could about anything that interested her .

Intelligent, curious, caring, charitable and hard working. These are the highest virtues we can attain and Genie Wild embodied them all.

She will be missed.
