She was preceded in death by her husband, Wayne Stupka, parents, sisters Betty Kallem and Beverly Riley, and brother Raymond Armour.
Geneice Ann Armour, the daughter of Roe and Alice (Jotten) Armour, was born on June 23, 1943 in Belmond, Iowa and grew up in Clarion. As a young adult, she found the Lord at the local Church of God. As a high school student, she worked at Erickson’s Bakery and, after being moved by the plight of post-WWII Jewish refugees, donated some of her earnings to assist them, a practice she continued throughout her life. She graduated from Clarion High School and then moved to Ames where she served as a Sunday School teacher at First Assembly of God while a young mother. She later moved to Baraboo, Wisconsin and served as a Women’s Ministry leader at Baraboo Assembly of God and was an active member of the Newcomers group. In the last years of her life, she returned to the Central Iowa Area where she lived in Kanawha and then Clarion.
A devoted homemaker and mother, she took great pride in her children, grandchildren and nieces and nephews. She also was a lifelong animal lover and enjoyed the dogs, cats, chickens and goats she raised over the years. Always ready with a smile, she made friends wherever she went and people often commented on meeting her that it seemed they had known her for years.
