Genevieve (Genny) Fairchild Stapleton went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on June 17, 2024, at the age of 81. She was a wonderful person who was deeply loved by all who were blessed to know her.
Genny was born on April 4, 1943, in Hawkins County, TN to her late parents, John and Arthena Fairchild. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved brothers Joe, Ralph, Lowell, and Hugh Fairchild and sisters Mildred Wattenbarger and Beatrice Winstead, as well as brother-in-law Rev. Warren Wattenbarger.

Genny was a member of Colonial Heights Baptist Church in Kingsport, TN which she attended until declining health rendered her bed-ridden after which New Vision Baptist Church of Murfreesboro, TN became her de-facto home church which she enjoyed via streaming every Sunday.
