SAUMSIEGLE, GENIEVE "Gen" (nee Joslyn) - 91, died on October 9, 2014 at Shore Medical Center. A long-time resident of Needham, Massachusetts, she was born in Randolph, Vermont and was the daughter of Clyde and Jessie Joslyn. Genieve grew up in Waltham, Massachusetts, graduated from Waltham High School in 1939, and received a full scholarship as a member of the first class of Mt. Ida Junior College. She graduated in 1941, but in 1964 she returned to Mt. Ida as Alumnae Secretary and launched, wrote and edited the Alumnae Bulletin.

In addition to being a loving mother and grandmother, she loved reading, baking, and traveling in the U.S. and Europe. For the past seven years she lived at Brandall Estates in Linwood where she was known for her good humor and wit. She was married to Robert Saumsiegle, currently of Wellesley, Massachusetts.
