Genny, was a member of the Bedford United Methodist Church and graduated from Bedford High School Class of 1948. As a young family, she and Corky traveled frequently in their RV exploring the beauty of United States and continued that traveling passion into their retirement years to Florida, where they embraced a fun community of many Florida friends. In her later years Genny loved reading Danielle Steele novels, shopping with her best buddy Helen Judy, and playing bridge with a close knit circle of friends. Genny Wirick was a gentle soul and was well loved by all that met her. Recollections of her quiet strengths, her easy laughter, and endearing sense of humor will live on in our hearts
