Gena E. (Parker) Mantz passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, September 4, 2018.

Gena was born September 30, 1963 in Denver, Colorado, to Gene and Phyllis Parker. She graduated from George Washington High School in 1982 and soon after met the love of her life William "Bill" Mantz. They married in 1989 and have one son, Andrew "Andy" Mantz. Together they shared a life full of fun, laughter and love.

Gena worked in the accounting field for over 20 years. She enjoyed crafting, cooking and making treasured gifts for her family and friends. Watching rodeos and going camping were also among her favorite activities. All who knew her loved her great sense of humor.
