Second wife of Ettore, who married him when he was 65, and ultimately had just 10 months together before his death. Although her role with the 1956 effort was pretty limited, she was, nominally, the company principal and she did have a small role in the car industry for a number of years alongside her soon-to-be second husband (eventually married in 1951), Rene Bollore, Roland Bugatti and Pierre Marco, with all four running the marque. Maiden name Delcuze, Genevieve died in 2014. She had been in good health and even visited the occasional event until just before her death. She also enjoyed playing bridge and was involved in community events in Nantes.
