Gena was born April 25th, 1949, and was welcomed home by her parents, George and Jean Smith. She grew up in Bronson, Iowa, where she lived and worked for much of her life. She was married, had two sons, Clint and Lance, and later divorced.

She worked various social work jobs in Sioux City and Council Bluffs and attained her college degree while balancing her job and single parenting. She married Pat Main on May 1, 1998, and Gena and Pat eventually settled in Spencer, Iowa.

Gena loved helping people, the New York Yankees and entertaining children, especially her grandkids. She will be remembered for her humor, her laugh, her strong opinions, her love of family and her less than perfect driving.

Gena passed away peacefully March 24, 2025, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota at seventy-five years of age.

She will be missed by her husband, Pat Main; sons, Clint Loveall (Jane) and Lance Loveall (Paige); grandchildren, Bailey Swart (Pieter), Emma Loveall (Kyle), Jacob Loveall and Emily Loveall; great-grandchildren, John and Lacey Swart; stepchildren, Brian Asche and Tara Main; step-grandchildren, Corbin Asche and Kylee Main; and by many friends and extended family whom she loved deeply.
