GENEVA
HURST
resident of Cottonwood Point and Sterling House before her move to California.
Always gifted in the arts of cooking and design, including sewing, floral and home decorating, Geneva had a way of seeing things in a unique and creative way bringing much joy and pleasure to those gathered around her.
Geneva credits her grandmother Jeannie Muir with patiently showing her the ways of successful endeavors in cooking, sewing and homemaking. Most all of Geneva's clothes were make by her from designer patterns. Her gifts and talents were many and the lives she touched were multitudes. She was friend to the visiting Mobil executive's wives in Augusta, many who spoke only “educated” English in teaching them the “American” ways of cooking, sewing and decorating.
She supported her husband in being the homemaker while he and Gene Scholfield owned and operated Scholfield-Hurst Motor and subsequently in 1953 became Jap Hurst Ford.
She moved the family to La Jolla while Jap trained at the San Diego Naval Training Center before his tour of duty in the Pacific for the U.S. Navy.
Returning to Augusta, she owned and operating "The Ivy House" a greenhouse and floral shop while Jap was serving in the Philippines.
She was a member of Hypatia Club of Augusta and loved to sing in the Christian church choir.
She and Jap were always looking for ways to bring quality experiences of the outside world to Augusta and have her family benefit from the experi-
ence. One such was in 1953, Wolfgang Barth, a graduate of Freiberg University in the Black Forest joined her home for what was to become a lifelong experience for all her family. Wolfgang studied for an advanced degree at Evansville College, returning to Germany where he recently retired as managing director of Grundig Electronics in Nuremberg. During his career as a successful businessman in Europe, he visited Augusta many times and loved to have a steak at George Diamond’s steakhouse in Chicago. Her son, Allan, is godfather to Wolfgang and Renate's two sons, Ulf and Jorge. Wolfgang openly credits “Mom” with giving him so many of the qualities that caused him to become successful.
Geneva enjoyed attending the art classes in Wichita.
