DIVORCES FILED

Genevieve C. Shaver-Hibbard, 87

Genevieve C. Shaver-Hibbard was born September 18, 1927, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to parents Joseph Hopperstad and Clara (Nelson) Hopperstad. With her father being Norwegian and her mother Swedish, her ancestry is totally Scandinavian. This may account for her life-long gentle (if not somewhat stubborn) nature. Other than her father, she never knew any of the Hopperstad family, and sadly her father died when Genevieve was eight years old so she really never knew him and has few memories of him. She did remember her mother's family, the Nelsons, aunts and uncles and especially Grandma and Grandpa Nelson. Grandpa Nelson always had time to spend with Genevieve, and she remembers how he would peel an apple or carve a piece of wood for her. So in spite of losing her father at an early age and growing up during the Great Depression, she had many fond memories of her childhood. Some of you remember the difficult times during the 1930's, when jobs and money were almost nonexistent. Be that as it was, Genevieve's mother was able to find enough work, usually 2 or 3 part-time jobs at a time, and able to keep Genevieve and her younger sister Marjorie well dressed, fed and in a nice home. Being a widow raising two young girls by herself was indeed a challenging task but to her credit she did an admirable job.

Your wits will serve you against a fake process server

I recently received an email from a reader who let me know she received a call from someone claiming to be a process server. He informed her she would be served on a certain day between 3 and 5 p.m. She wanted to check with me to see if this was legitimate. A process server is someone who notifies an individual or company that an action has been taken against them in a court of law.
