Geneva, 93, of Brazoria peacefully passed away at her home with her daughter and friend, Bonnie Flippo on June 25, 2018. She was born in Cement, Oklahoma on August 10, 1924 to John and Daisy Kelley. Geneva was the oldest of nine children, who was the “second mom” to a very large and loving family. Her family moved to Marble Falls, Texas where she met the love of her life, A J Pilgrim. They were married in December 28, 1940. There they grew their family and had four daughters: Helen Jane, Mary Edna, Virginia Ruth and Dorothy Nell. In 1951, they moved to Surfside Beach and filled their home lots of laughter, friends, family and food. Geneva enjoyed wood craving and the challenge of learning something new. Spending time with her kids brought her so much joy and happiness. In 1966, they bought a very old house in Freeport, Texas. It was loaded on a barge on the Intercoastal and went up the Benard River to be placed on the land in Wild Peach, Texas. Geneva loved talking to people and was easy to talk too. Even complete strangers would tell their problems and life stories. She was always encouraging and happy. She enjoyed life and believed in helping others. She was loved by all and called “an angel” by many. God couldn’t have sent a better, sister, mom, aunt and grandmother to our family and will be deeply missed.
