Geneva Crowder

Geneva Mister Crowder, born on December 13, 1939, was the second child

and second daughter of Abraham and Lucinda Mister. From her earliest

days, she carried a gentle strength, a giving spirit, and a deep devotion

to her family and her faith.

Geneva married the love of her life, Waners Lee Crowder, and together

they shared 62 years of unwavering partnership. As an Army wife, she

supported her husband through every chapter of military life while

raising their family with grace, resilience, and steadfast love. She also

dedicated more than 20 years of service as an AAFES associate, where

her kindness, reliability, and warm presence touched countless lives.

Her faith was the foundation of her life. Geneva embraced Jesus Christ

as her Savior and was baptized at Bethlehem Temple in El Paso, Texas.

She served faithfully as usher board president for many years and

lovingly prepared meals for people of all ages in the church kitchen. Her

service was an expression of her heart—quiet, humble, and full of

compassion.

On May 7, 2026, Geneva passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved

ones. She is preceded in death by her parents, Abraham and Lucinda

Mister; her sisters, Jimmie Faye and Betty; and her brothers, James and

Ervin.

She leaves behind her devoted husband of 62 years, Waners Crowder; her

daughters, Vickie Osborne and Ulanda Bush; her grandchildren, Chester

Osborne, Omni Bush, and Brianna Ferdinand (married to Leo Ferdinand);

and her great‑grandchildren, Kylan Bush, Micah Bush, Brayden

Ferdinand, and Cameron Ferdinand. Each carries forward her love, her

strength, and the lessons she so generously shared.

Geneva will be remembered as a devoted wife, mother, a cherished

grandmother and great‑grandmother, a faithful servant of God, and a

woman whose life reflected kindness, humility, and unwavering love.
