Genevieve Terranova, formerly of Port Vue, Pennsylvania, passed away at the age of 98 on September 9, 2025. Genevieve, also known as “Gen”, anchored her life as a wife and mother to her immediate family and as a daughter to her parents, siblings and relatives.

Gen loved her life in Port Vue with her mother, Caroline Medved and stepfather, John Medved, along with her sister, Madeline Gross and brother, Richard Medved. Growing up, she played on the surrounding hills of her home with her sister, close relatives, and friends. Gen is also fondly remembered for her lovely singing voice through most of her life.

In 1964, Gen moved with her husband, Jack Terranova, formerly from Duquesne, and children Janet and Jim to Bucks County in Eastern PA. But, her heart and soul remained in Port Vue. She is survived by her daughter, Janet Schollenberger where she lives in Gettysburg, PA with her husband Doug Schollenberger and by her son, James Terranova and his wife, Jill Terranova of West Chester PA.

Gen has four grandchildren, Megan and Scott Schollenberger and Marc and Laura Terranova. In her later life, she has also been blessed with 5 handsome great grandsons from ages 7 to 2, Nolan, Jack, William, Finn, and Hank, and one darling little 18 month old great granddaughter, Charlie.

Dear Mom and Grandma, we will all miss you dearly. Family gatherings will never be the same without you.

Services for Genevieve are private at the request of the family. Arrangements made by The Daniel F. Bekavac Funeral Home and Crematory, 4504 Walnut Street, Versailles, PA 15132 (412) 678-3454 www.bekavacfuneralhome.com
