With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of the most amazing mom, wife, grandma, great-grandma, aunt, daughter, sister and friend, Genevieve M. Rooney (Silengo) on November 20, 2024. She was preceded in death by her parents, John Baptiste and Jennie Genevieve (Vernetti) Silengo, as well as her brothers Charles, John, and Paul Silengo. Her loving husband of 42 years, Thomas C. Rooney, also passed away before her in 2006. Genevieve is survived by her three daughters, Joan Rooney, Shawna Zoltay, and Patty Baker, as well as her stepsons, numerous cherished grandchildren, great-grandchildren, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Throughout her life, Genevieve embodied an angelic presence, dedicating herself to serving others. She was actively involved in volunteer work at Pikes Peak Mental Health, where her selflessness earned her the prestigious Volunteer of the Year award in 1994. Always ready to lend a helping hand, Genevieve provided rides to friends in need and contributed her efforts to the church. Genevieve’s delightful sense of humor, boundless capacity for unconditional love, and zestful spirit brought joy to the lives of those fortunate enough to know her. She leaves behind a void that will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of sharing in her company.
