Genevieve Marie DeRaimondo

 


On June 19, 2016 the lovely and spirit-filled Genevieve Marie (Allen) DeRaimondo of Easton, PA passed away at her daughter’s home in Bethlehem  and was welcomed into eternity by her loving Heavenly Father.  Genevieve was born on June 14, 1932 in New York, New York to the Reverend Raymond and Genevieve (Bradshaw) Allen.  She was married for 46 years to Angelo DeRaimondo before his passing in 1997.

Genevieve was a homemaker and a beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, and sister in Christ. Throughout her 84 years, Genevieve was a singer and songwriter, ministering to countless people through her gifts of music and teaching, especially to the Easton community and, notably, as a Sunday School teacher and as a KYM Club teacher at Chestnut Hill Chapel.  Most recently, she worshipped at Calvary Chapel in Allentown.  The grace and peace which Genevieve so lovingly exuded will be deeply missed; we will forever hold her in our hearts and the beauty of her spirit and her songs will sing within us until we are united again.  Genevieve was predeceased by a brother (Joseph), her parents, her husband and 2 grandsons.

    My beautiful darling wonderful precious Aunt Gen
    I love you so much . I am so grateful the Lord chose you to serve him
    You were on your knees before Jesus for the whole family interceding and for that there have been thousands who have surrendered their lives to Jesus . I watched you as a child continuously talk about Jesus and always singing about the sovereignty and glorious Lord
    You took my siblings and me to Kim club or vacation bible school .Your a champion at traveling over 2000 miles from California to Easton Pa singing to every one in all the states we went through
    Your home eternally with Jesus in your mansion and the golden streets in heaven
    I love you Jesus and I know your servant Aunt Gen is wearing her crown
    Thank you Lord for this beautiful woman you gave us .

    As a member of Faith Community Assembly of God, I was blessed to meet Genevieve and worship with her and she was one of the sweetest, and most loving ladies I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. I’m so so sorry for your loss and I rejoice with you in the knowledge that she is with our Lord Jesus Christ in heaven.
