Teen had big heart, ‘fiery’ soul erin Christie Black Press
For those who knew Traci Genereaux, the world will never be the same. Human remains found on a farm in Silver Creek were confirmed to be those of the Vernon teen, who was last heard from May 29 and reported missing June 9. “Many spent countless hours searching for her, praying for her, and doing everything within their power to bring her home. Yet, this didn’t end the way we wanted,” Pastor Dave Bootsma told the crowd of approximately 60 friends and family members gathered at the Upper Room Mission Tuesday afternoon to remember the 18-yearold Vernon woman.
The ceremony, organized by the mission’s staff at the request of Genereaux’s grieving family, was also attended by two RCMP officers and several frontline workers. Members of the media were allowed to attend but asked not record or take photos, at the request of the family. “Traci loved animals, and especially ducks,” Bootsma read in his eulogy. “She had the biggest heart. She had so much love to give to anybody…… While living on the street, she often told her grandmother she didn’t understand why people took her things — she would have shared if only they’d asked,” BootsTraci Genereaux was remembered at a service on Tuesday, Nov. 21 at the Upper Continued on A2 Room Mission in Vernon.
