S. Geneva Capps Kehrer, 89, of Mt. Vernon, died 7 a.m. Friday, Jan. 16, 2015, at Mt. Vernon Countryside Manor in Mt. Vernon.  She was born July 9, 1925, in the Frisco community north east of Ewing, the daughter of Alonzo Olin and Edith Pearl (Beaty) Capps.

Geneva was a kind, jolly person; she led a harmonious family and spent her life serving the Lord as well as her family gracefully intermixing discipline with fun. She was an honest and true lady in every sense of the word!
