  • Notes 
    • KAUFMAN, Genevieve G. (nee Beaupre) - Gen died peacefully at Beechwood Manor, her home for the last four years, on Wednesday, September 5, 2007 in her 89th year. She was born in St. Clements, Ontario to Benjamin Beaupre and Anna Linseman. Gen was the beloved wife of Wilfrid (Red) Kaufman (1988). Dearest mother of Elizabeth and Howie Payne, John Kaufman (1994) and Jim and Cathy Kaufman. Sadly missed by daughter-in-law, Nancy (Ken MacAlpine). Dear grandmother of Ted Payne, Rich and Laurraine Payne, Jay and Tristin Kaufman and Amanda and Daniel Kaufman. Great-grandmother (beloved G.G.) of Jessica and Sarah Payne. Survived by her sister, Monica (Porchy) Gardiner. Special "Mumsie" to the Dowling family. Predeceased by her siblings, Clare, Claude, Len and Lucy. She was a longtime member of St. Louis RC Church and the CWL. Hers was a long life, well lived. Gen's clearly expressed wishes were that there be no visitation. She will be cremated and buried with the rest of her family in St. Clements Cemetery with a private family interment at a later date. A Mass to celebrate her life will be said at St. Louis RC Church (Allen St., Waterloo) on Saturday, September 8, 2007 (today) at 11 a.m. with Father Ray Reitzel CR officiating. Memories of Gen can be shared at a reception directly following the Mass in the church hall. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, the House of Friendship or the Out of the Cold program at St. Louis church. Arrangements are entrusted to Ratz-Bechtel Funeral Home and Chapel, (519-745-9495) 621 King St. W., Kitchener. Online condolences may be sent through www.mem.com. A special thank you to the staff at Beechwood Manor for their care and concern of our mom.
