Genevieve was born to Glenn Adam Peterson and Opal Ocie (Smith) Peterson on 7, 1922 in a farmhouse in Lucas , IA. She graduated from Burlington High School and lived in houses in Mediapolis and West Burlington, IA, and eventually back to a farmhouse west of Chariton, IA. Genevieve married Clyde Gale Sparks on 14, 1944 in Princeton, MO. celebrated sixty-one years of marriage. Together they served as a pastor and wife in several communities in Missouri and Iowa. Livonia, Adrian, Crescent Hill, Barker, Brashear, and Kirksville were in Missouri and Ventura, Van Meter, Booneville, Scranton, Ralston, Dows, Alexander, Sharon Chapel, Humeston, and Columbia were in Iowa. Their Lucas farm became their home in 1987 and was always a special place to them. Together Genevieve and Clyde raised four children, Glenna, Della, Daniel, and Opal. Their childrens spouses include Bill Bents, Jim Crock, Doug Phelps, Vickie Cook Sparks, and Steven Hibbs. Their twelve grandchildren are Barbara Crock (MI), Joan Crock Garner (IA), Leo Crock (IA), Jeremy Bents (IA), Justin Sparks (OR), Ryan Crock (IA), Timothy Sparks (OR), Jessica Bents Odell (IL), Andrew Sparks (OR), Lance Hibbs (MO), Katelyn Sparks(OR), and Amanda Sparks Kizziar (OR).

Throughout her lifetime, these people have been prayed for and lifted up to God for His blessings on their lives. The births of their children turned Clyde and Genevieve into parents and a family of six. Their acceptance of Jesus Christs invitation to come and follow Him, ushered them into His Kingdom and restored them to their true identities, Children of God. were converted. The Heavenly Father wrote their names in His Book of Life. Genevieve recorded the date in their family Bible as 9, 1949. It was the beginning of a new life centered on living for Jesus. Their story of leaving farming and Clyde becoming a minister of the Gospel includes Genevieve receiving a call by God to become a pastors wife. From milking cows and farm chores the two of them answered a call to change their life focus and preach the Word of God. What did Genevieve do for a career? She cared for a family - cooked, cleaned, laundered clothes, ironed white shirts, sewed new dresses, mended jeans, grocery shopped, baked pies, and froze homemade ice cream. She fought flies, ants, roaches, and set raccoon and mouse traps. She knew how to dress chickens, iron- skillet-fry pieces of floured chicken, and clean up afterwards. Her hamburgers and gravy were a staple, along with pancakes and sugar syrup and yellow cakes that didn need frosting. Strawberry shortcake - made from scratch with a recipe kept in her mind - brought joy to many gatherings. Her home was the place in her heart where she took care of her family every day all the time. Working with people wanting to learn about following Jesus dominated her choices outside of her home. Along with summer camps with youth, she was a VBS Director-teacher-helper and School teacher. With adults she was a Bible Study Leader, a United Methodist Womens Officer, Guest Speaker, Thrift Sale Helper, and Devotions Leader. When preparing for presentations, she turned to the Bible and her suitcase of Christian education materials tying together how the principles of a faith based life would be exemplified in the way one encounters daily living. Her career has been one of serving others, giving compassionate attention, and attending to the details that gave her family the ability to have freedom to explore many opportunities. Her work as a wife, mother, grandma, and friend was her career, and she made a difference in all the lives of people she touched. In 2015, Genevieve moved to Ames, IA to make it easier for her family to stay in their homes as she lived independently at Northridge Village. While in Ames, she attended Christ Community Church with the Bents family. She completed the last of several embroidered baby quilts and was an avid reader of books. Friendships with people at Northridge Village developed around the dining room experiences. When her health status changed, Genevieve accepted more assistance from staff at Northridge Village and her family. Up until the last four months of her life she actively participated in phone conversations with friends and family and had the assurance she was participating in their lives as they were in hers. Even though leaving her Lucas home was not an easy decision, she accepted the changes that were made at that time in her life. Eva Genevieve Sparks was preceded in death by her husband in 2005, her parents, one younger brother - Darrell Dean Peterson, her father and mother-in-law, Daniel and Della Sparks, an infant Sparks granddaughter, her sons- in- law Jim Crock and Doug Phelps, and her and Clydes daughter, Della. All, but two, of Genevieves sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law have stepped into eternity. Many of Genevieves Sparks nephews and nieces are gone. All continued... |
