Geniel Bartholomew

Geniel Bartholomew, 90, of Midway, Utah, passed away on December 8, 2024. Geniel lived a long life as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend.
Geniel was born in Midway, Utah, on June 6, 1934, to Eliza Elizabeth Beck and Nephi Probst. She attended Wasatch High School and later married and had four children: Rosemary, Wayne, Timothy, and Charlotte. She was later divorced.
On October 11, 1974, Geniel married the love of her life, Edwin Bartholomew. They were later sealed in the Provo Utah Temple. They served a mission together for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-­‐Day Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois. They were married for 26 years when Ed passed away.
Geniel was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served faithfully in many callings throughout her life. She was always there to listen, provide service, and care to everyone she came in contact with.
Geniel was a great cook and always made room for more at her kitchen table…and then sent them home with food as well. She was an excellent baker and spent many years making bread and bratzelis for Swiss Days.
Geniel was an avid gardener and loved growing a large vegetable garden and beautiful flowers in her yard. She had beautiful gardens as beautiful as she was. Her immaculate, beautiful yard reflected her traits of diligence and hard work. She worked very hard throughout her life and was an example of love and kindness to all who crossed her path.
