Born and raised in Starks, Louisiana. She was the daughter of the late Emmett L. and Isabel (May) Bennett. Gene was a strong-willed person and she always lived life to the fullest.

On her down time, she loved to watch classic movies, listen to her favorite Motown hits or just simply read a book in her favorite chair overlooking the window to the street. When her husband John retired, they both took to Retirment easily and became world travelers. Gene traveled all 7 continents and all 50 states! Their love for traveling allowed them to make many new friends around the world. There was no one like Gene and her legacy will live on through her family.
