NILES- Geneva E. Oliver, a beacon of strength and resilience, will enter eternal rest on March 27, 2026, at her loving home. Born on February 9, 1940, in Greenwood, Mississippi, she was the cherished daughter of the late Baltimore Elzy and Eva (Washington) Elzy. Throughout her life, Geneva exemplified grace, dignity, and an unwavering spirit, dedicating 33 years to the auto fabrication industry at Packard Electric before her well-deserved retirement in 1999.

Geneva will be remembered not just for her contributions as a laborer but for the warmth and love she radiated to all who knew her. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, daughter, Vanessa Elzy-Eggleston, along with six sisters and two brothers, who now joyfully welcome her among the ancestors.

Geneva leaves behind a loving family that will honor her enduring legacy: her four devoted sons, Anthony Elzy, Andre Elzy, Richard "Ricco" Oliver Jr., and Elder Derrick Oliver; along with her treasured grandchildren and great-grandchildren; her surviving siblings; and a host of extended family and friends who will carry her memory in their hearts.

As we reflect on Geneva's life, we are reminded of the indelible mark she has left on our hearts, and we invite all to join in the celebration of her remarkable journey. The funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at the Monument of Faith Church of God in Christ, 904 W. Market St., Warren, where family and friends will gather to celebrate her life. A public viewing will take place at the church starting at 10:00 a.m.

After the committal ceremony, Geneva will find her final resting place at Pineview Memorial Cemetery, 4049 Youngstown Rd SE, Warren, OH.

At this time of intimate need and personal loss, the family of Geneva E. Oliver elected to entrust the Ministry of Comfort & Care, along with Transitional After-Care Arrangements to the J. E. Washington Funeral Services, 2234 Glenwood Avenue, Youngstown, Ohio, 330.782.8500.
