Genevieve “Gen” A. VanderWeele, 97, of Dorr, died Wednesday, Feb. 28.

Gen was preceded in death by her husband, Robert VanderWeele; parents Edward and Wilmina (Rozeveld) Van Dyke; three brothers Thomas, Sam, Everard; four sisters Laura, Henrietta, Eva, Christine; son-in-law, Christopher Sorrentino; and great-great-grandchild, Kayde.
