Genice K

Eastes

Genice K. Eastes, 73, of Gulfport, Mississippi, passed away on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

To her husband, Mike, Genice was simply ‘the best wife a man can ask for.’ Their 55 years of marriage were a testament to the love, devotion, and life they shared together.

Genice retired from the casino and hospitality industry after many years of service. In her free time, she enjoyed gardening, playing the piano, and reading. She found joy in the simple things in life and will be remembered for her kindness and the special place she held in the hearts of her family and friends.

She is survived by her loving husband, Joseph Michael “Mike” Eastes; her children, Katherine Denise Dickens and Joseph Michael Eastes II; her grandchildren, Justin Warden and Destiny Cowart; and her great-grandchild, Stetson. She will also be missed by her beloved dog, Hunny.

Genice was preceded in death by her parents.

A gathering will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at Riemann Family Funeral Home, 11280 Three Rivers Road, Gulfport, MS 39503. Graveside service will follow at 2:00 p.m. at Finley Cemetery.

In keeping with Genice’s kind and giving spirit, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at www.stjude.org.

Kind to all.
