Genoveva was born in Raymondville, TX, to Enrique Cantu and Maria Jesusita De La Rosa Cantu. She was raised in Raymondville, TX. Genoveva graduated from Raymondville High School and was crowned Ms. Raymondville in 1959.

She worked alongside her husband at Montalvo and Guerra Insurance Agency, then for the Weslaco ISD Superintendent’s office for many years.
