Saturday, September 21, 2024
Martin Luther Campus would like to honor our dear friend, Maria Genné, Performing Artist and Founder of KAIROS ALIVE!. We met Maria when KAIROS ALIVE! became one of our very first Life Long Learning Partners at Martin Luther Campus. Under Maria's creative guidance, KAIROS ALIVE! shared a new and exciting activity with our residents and staff...creative expression through movement.
Maria inspired us to dance like no one was watching, to smile at our neighbors, to sing with conviction and to even be a little silly. Maria had an amazing ability to foster community in every room she entered with her positivity and her caring smile. She helped older adults feel seen and honored. Martin Luther Campus is so grateful to have witnessed her masterful work firsthand and to have been a part of the incredible legacy she built. Maria leaves behind a team at KAIROS ALIVE!, who is also her beloved family. Her family continues to share the same exuberance for life and creative connection. Her work lives on in them.
Thank you, Maria, for the lives you have touched and the lives you have bettered. You have left a mark on our hearts that will last forever. We send our love and support to the family of Maria Genné today and always.

I share the grief, loss, sadness, and disbelief that has been shared by many others. I had the opportunity to first meet Maria over 11 years ago, when I invited her and Kairos Alive to be the closing presentation at an annual medical conference I was part of planning. Despite some reservations from my colleagues, Maria and her group gave a virtuoso, spell binding exhibition of the power of dance, music, and stories. To this day, I have people who remember that with great fondness
But that led to me becoming involved with Kairos Alive, and serving as their Board chair for over 7 years. I have never met anyone with the energy, love of life, commitment to passion and caring, and desire to share that Maria demonstrated to all of us.
Her loss is both a great one personally, but also a great loss to the communities she so dynamically and consistently supported. She leaves a legacy beyond what many of us could hope for...and a sense of need for all of us to work to ensure that her ideals, goals, hopes, and dreams will continue to be at the forefront of our lives.
I am saddened, but thankful that I was able in a small way to be a part of this wonderful woman's life.

My dear friend Maria was the most alive person I knew. She used her energy to bring so many others to life. She put dance into life and life into dance. Her joy will last forever in our hearts, and I will be reminded of her vitality whenever I dance, or even move in the rhythms of living. Love to all and especially her wonderful family. See you on the 21st for the celebration and will let InterHub and The Society know of the event.

I have so loved singing, dancing and being in a women's circle with Maria! When my children were little we danced with Kairos at the opening fundraiser at St Kate's. She is a soul sister to me and I know she is a beloved and inspiring woman whose gifts will live on all of us who lives she has touched❤

My deepest condolences for the entire family whether by blood or friendship. I only met Maria when she was in St Louis to attend her brother my father's funeral Joseph Genne. Her youthfulness and beauty inside and out was impressed upon my heart. She will be remembered.

Dear Chris, Ellie, Parker,
So sorry to hear we've lost Maria. She and I were members of Instructional Dance Theater way, way back in the 80's. I remember Ellie and Parker playing in the studio as little ones and Mari's incredible love of life which was infectious to anyone who got within 10 feet of her intense gaze. I consider myself lucky to have known her.
