Sharon Genovese enjoyed a special birthday party

By Joanie Allbee

Bob Genovese generously threw his wife Sharon Genovese a 70th birthday bash last Saturday night (Nov. 8) at the Knights of Columbus at 57 Appleton St. Sharon, who shares her light and life with the world through volunteer causes, shared her birthday cake with their twin sons – Mathew and Bobby – who were born on Sharon’s 41st Birthday. She exclaimed that having twins was her best birthday present ever.

The trio’s Birthday was Nov. 9. As the calendar scrolls through time in 2025, the twins turned 29 as their mom turned 70.

Savvy Sharon, with her lavender hair and maxi dress, greeted guests and offered a bounty of food. While bathed in purple light, the Genoveses slowly danced to their wedding song, Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”

On October 5, they celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary. Sharon reminisced about Bob’s proposal: “I can’t promise you riches, but I will promise you that you will never be bored.”

“Bob keeps his promise to me. He’s exciting and makes me laugh every day and he’s my best friend,“ Sharon said.

When asked about what makes a long marriage, Sharon replied: “Marry your best friend. And don’t go to bed mad at each other.”

Happy birthdays and Happy Anniversary to the Genovese family.
