Genevieve was born in Fort Herkimer on January 10, 1921, a daughter of the late Martin and Mary Glogowski. She was a lifelong area resident and attended Herkimer schools.

Genevieve was a lifelong member of St. Mary's Ukrainian Orthodox Church. She was known to all as having a heart of gold; and she surely loved her family.

She was predeceased by her parents, husband, and a daughter, Donna James.



Mrs. Maliniak's funeral service will be conducted by the Reverend Ivan Semko at St. Mary's Ukrainian Orthodox Church on Moore Avenue, Herkimer at 10 am on Thursday, March 10, 2011. There are no calling hours. She will be laid to rest next to her beloved husband, Martin, at St. Mary's Ukrainian Orthodox Cemetery in the spring.
