Genevieve S Kramer passed away peacefully in St Louis on Wednesday, July 3, 2024. She had recently celebrated her 100th birthday with family and friends. Genevieve was the daughter of the late Professor William and Celia Shaw, and sister to the late Ruth Shaw Kahan and the late Milton Shaw, and the mother to the late Geoffrey W Kramer. She is survived by three children, Elizabeth Bikoff (Elizabeth Robertson), Ephraim Kramer (Shelly) and Becky Shimony (Josh), 17 grandchildren, over 50 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren.

Genevieve was a woman before her time. She always worked outside of the home, rising to a prestigious job with the Department of Energy in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, while raising 4 children. She was involved in many causes outside of work, always giving to the community in both Oak Ridge and Knoxville. She worked tirelessly for both Jewish Communities, Soviet Jewry, Daniel Arthur Rehabilitation Center, and helped so many people.

She moved to St Louis after her husband died and quickly became part of the Jewish Community in U City. She made many friends young and old and continued her acts of loving kindness by knitting baby hats for friends, hosting young people in her home, and being a friend to all.

A graveside funeral will take place at the New Jewish Cemetery in Knoxville, Tennessee on Sunday, July 7, 2024.

Memorial contributions can be made to Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem and Camp Judaea in Hendersonville, NC.
