Genevieve Pfliger Obituary (1935 - 2019)

Genevieve Pfliger passed away at the age of 83 on April 8, 2019, at Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center. Gen married Robert Pfliger June 26, 1953. She graduated from University of Mary with a Bachelor's Degree in 1992. During her lifetime, Gen was a Dakota Zoo docent, a Girl Scout leader and a member of the Shrine Auxiliary. She loved her animals and was greatly involved in the Central Dakota Humane Society in Bismarck, the James River Humane Society in Jamestown and she always cared for any stray cat or dog that was fortunate enough to find its way to her home. Genevieve lived with her daughter Ranada and son-in-law Jim in Bismarck for several years until she required more care and it became necessary for her to move to a skilled nursing care facility at Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center. Genevieve is survived by two daughters Ranada (Jim Hill) Davis, Bismarck, and Barbara (Steven) Gravlein, Fairbanks, Alaska; one son, Robert (Pam) Pfliger, Sacramento, California; and one grandson, Evan Pfliger, Sacramento. Gen also left behind her pets she shared with Ranada and Jim, two cats, Red Romeo and Black Shadow. Black Shadow would always remind Gen at 8:30 in the evening that is was time for Gen's injection. Also, a Pomeranian, Pretty Girl Raven. Gen was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Robert and a sister. A private service has taken place. Memorials should go to the Central Dakota Humane Society in Bismarck and the James River Humane Society in Jamestown. Gen's daughter, Ranada and son-in-law, Jim, wish to thank the nursing staff who cared for Genevieve and who all knew of her great love for her furry friends until she finally rested in her Father's arms; a thank you to the physical therapists at Dakota Physical Therapy at Touchmark on West Century in Bismarck - Doctors of Physical Therapy April Bergan, Lacey Schulte and Monica Lange - who worked with Gen in Touchmark's warm water pool; and a thank you to Marilyn Bender who always made sure that Gen rode the Transit.
