Verne is fondly remembered by a large extended family and friends.

Verne worked outside the home in her earlier years, but her pride was in raising her daughters and seeing her family grow. Verne enjoyed the simple pleasures, and shared fond memories, of her life in Riverport. She enjoyed spending time at home cooking, working in her garden, and camping with friends and family in earlier years. She was an avid card player and enjoyed going to many community card parties. Mom was always happy to play cards, cribbage with family and friends, and enjoyed going to bingo whenever she had the opportunity.

Verne took an interest in her community of Riverport where she was member of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and was happy to attend many gatherings at the Riverport Community Center.
