Genevieve Conboy, 89, of DeWitt, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, while at Francis House. She was born in Utica, New York, on January 3, 1933, the daughter of Edward C. and Mary Elizabeth Conboy. She graduated from New Hartford High School in New Hartford, New York. She worked in the Utica area until 1960 when she moved to Syracuse, New York. She worked for Dr. D.V. Needham for eight years and Crouse Hospital Medical Imaging for 28 years before retiring.
Genevieve was a communicant of Holy Cross Church and shared her strong faith with her family. She greatly enjoyed her travels with her sisters to London; Ireland; Hawaii; Cancun, Mexico; Branson, Missouri; the Outer Banks of North Carolina; Nova Scotia; and Florida. She loved her ladies’ golf leagues and before that tennis and ceramics.
She was predeceased by her parents, Edward and Mae Conboy as well as her seven siblings: John Conboy, Richard Conboy, Edward Conboy, Jr., Robert Conboy, Mary Skube, Elizabeth Gillson, and Patricia Shannon.
