Genna was born in Fall River and grew up in Rhode Island where she attended the Meeting Street Center in Providence and Middletown High School before moving to Plymouth where she was home schooled by her loving teacher, and friend Michele Ovalles she graduated from Plymouth South High School. She was a true princess, her favorite colors being pink and purple. She loved fashion, animals especially dragonflies, music and roller coasters. She had a contagious laugh: once she started you couldn’t help but laugh with her. Even though she was unable to speak, Genna taught everyone she met the true meaning of life. She touched the hearts of everyone she met. We would like to thank Patty Hamblin who was Genna's nurse for the past three and a half years, her nurses, wonderful doctors, Janet Duncan and the PACT team who made it possible for us to keep her home, along with Boson Children's Hospital.
