Genevieve was born October 5, 1924 in Waite Park, MN to John J. and Elizabeth (Ertl) Wimmer. She married Lewis H. Larson on October 11, 1945 at the Church of St. Philip. They farmed west of Litchfield where they raised their six children. Lewis died in 1967. She married Joseph Hemmesch in 1968 and they farmed near Lake Henry. She enjoyed traveling to warm states and baking but she will be most remembered for her hard work ethic. She was a member of the Lake Henry American Legion 612 Auxiliary.

Genevieve is survived by her children Earl (Patricia) Larson of Cold Spring, George J. Larson of Atwater, Ron (Penny) Larson of Litchfield, Dianne (Mike) Halterman of Grove City and Doreen (DeWayne) Horn of St. Cloud, and Wayne (Dianna Ertl) Larson of Watkins, 22 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson. She is also survived by her siblings Hildegarde Ornberg, John Wimmer Jr. and Val Schmidt.

Preceding Genevieve in death were her parents, husbands Lewis and Joe, grandson Jerry Larson, and siblings Isabel Anglin, Donald Wimmer, Clem Wimmer, Delores Asfeld, infant brother Ralph Wimmer and daughters-in-law Rose (Kidrowski) Larson and Joyce (Bauer) Larson.

The family would like to thank staff at Bethany Memory Care in Litchfield.

I send my love to the entire family and wish I could be there on November 22nd to lay grandma to rest with you all. I am comforted by my last few visits with Grandma Gen, via telephone and in person last June. I only regret not having gotten to know her earlier in my life. She was such a funny, salt of the earth, straight shooter! I’m proud to be in the Wimmer/Larson family!

Your mother was amazing! Always baking and doing things for others (as you do Doreen)! She will be missed. Sympathy to all of you!!! Hugs Doreen!!!
