She will be missed her her many nieces and nephews. Verna will be fondly remembered by all who knew her. She had a unique way of making everyone feel special and loved. Verna was a kind and fun-loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, mother-in-law, grand-mother and great-grandmother. Her hands were rarely still whether it was cooking, baking, crafting, painting or gardening. Verna was a dedicated mother first and foremost.

Legacy of Love
A stronger person would be hard to find.
In your heart you were always kind.
You fought for us in one way or another.
We couldn’t ask for a better mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
now the time has come to rest.
Go in peace you earned your sleep.
Your love in our hearts we will eternally keep.
