Verna's life was a tapestry woven with the threads of enduring love and cherished moments.

Verna found joy in the simple pleasures of life, relishing shopping excursions and embarking on adventures, especially during travels and cruises alongside her dear friends, Joyce and Rich Sizemore. Having retired in 1993 from McDonald-Douglas, she embraced a life of shared experiences and laughter, fostering close relationships with her siblings.

The family will be arranging a celebration of life at a later date.
