Genevieve Cousins Delk
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Genevieve Cousins Delk on the morning of April 10, 2025, in Valdosta, Georgia with her daughter Eva by her side. Genevieve was born in New Orleans on February 2, 1970, and raised in Shreveport, LA. She was warmly known for being sassy, smart, sweet, bright and energetic as well as for her big red curly hair and soulful blue eyes. She shared her big-hearted love freely with family and friends and held them close to her heart as the most important aspects of life, especially her daughter Eva. Genevieve’s personality and style were vivacious, colorful, fun, and entertaining. She spent twenty years of her life dedicated to the care and support of mothers as a beloved nurse practitioner midwife in Valdosta, GA, Louisiana, California and South Dakota. She was known for her compassionate care, unwavering dedication, and ability to empower women during one of the most significant times in their lives. Genevieve was later plagued by numerous illnesses, but she persisted in her positive outlook always finding her magnetic smile for those around her, Eva most of all.
Genevieve is survived by her daughter Eva Delk, brother James Cousins, Jr. and his three sons James III (Buzz), Herbie and Duncan Cousins, aunts Margaret Cousins Hoyt and Ellen Baskerville, brother-in-law Craig Stephen Delk, uncle Billy Baskerville, cousins Monique Cousins Hoffmeister, Barrett Cousins, Michael Cousins III, Christopher Meek, Brad Meek, Shea Meek Dotson, Bryan Baskerville, William Baskerville, her stepmother Helen Colbert Cousins, and their collective families.
Genevieve was preceded in death by her father James Cousins, Sr., mother Eve Baskerville Cousins, grandparents Michael and Genevieve Cousins, and Bess and Bill Baskerville, as well as her former husband Joseph “Joey” Delk. A memorial service will be held on Saturday May 3, 2025, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at Redland Baptist Church, 4888 Rocky Ford Road, Valdosta, GA 31601 where family and friends are invited to celebrate Genevieve’s life and vivacious spirit.
