She was also preceded in death by her parents, Vernie and Georgia Hardy, and her brother, Pearman O'Neal Hardy, and nephew, Matthew Hardy.

Genie is survived by her beloved daughter, Georganna Chance Munro of Pearland, Texas; son, Dean O'Neal Chance and his wife, Brenda of Canyon Lake, Texas; cherished niece Kerry Hardy; as well as nephews, Pat Hardy and Eugene Hardy.
