Geneva Testerman

(From Ozark Funeral Home)

Mrs. Geneva Dell Testerman, 82, of Noel, Missouri, went home to be with the Lord on Friday afternoon, June 18, 2021, after a courageous battle with cancer. Geneva was surrounded by loved ones who will continue to honor her legacy by living their lives to the fullest.

Geneva was born on July 30, 1938, in Stella, Missouri, to the late Dannie S. and Mollie (Cook) Carter. Geneva married her husband Don on December 28, 1958. Geneva worked many years at Empire Gas in Noel. Following the gas company, she began employment with the Ozark Funeral Home, working in the office and assisting with visitations and funerals.
