Eugénie "Genie" Hartung, nee McGrath, passed peacefully on July 20th, 2026. Born in 1956 to the late Lawrence and Winifred (Meuse) McGrath, she was raised in Everett and resided there all her life. She married Ronald (Ronnie) in 1976 and spent many years traveling and taking several trips to Bermuda before starting a family. She often referred to the time when her children (and nieces and nephews) were young as her golden years.

The family has wonderful memories of summers spent camping and road-tripping. She loved her annual week-long summer vacations on the Maine coast, watching for seals, eating ice cream, and antiquing with her sister-packing the car full for the long leisurely drives home down Old Route 1. Her favorite days were those spent by the pool with family and friends.

In her final years, she was active at the Everett Senior Center and made many wonderful friends with whom she shared many laughs.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by siblings Larry, Patricia Ann, Billy, and Patty. She will be deeply missed by her loving children, daughter Kathleen and son Mark and his fiancée Gina. In addition to her children, she leaves behind her brother Matthew and his wife Laura, nieces Michelle and Kelly, nephews Shaun and his partner Heather, Christopher and his partner Jenn, Patrick and his wife Julia, and Daniel and his wife Jacqueline, and the great nieces she adored, along with many cousins and friends.

Relatives and friends are kindly invite to attend visiting hours at the J.F. Ward Funeral Home, 772 Broadway, Everett, on Monday, July 27th, from 4 pm to 7 pm. Genie’s funeral will be held from the funeral home on Tuesday, July 28th, at 9 am, followed by a Funeral Mass celebrated at Immaculate Conception Church, 600 Pleasant St., Malden, at 10 am.
