Verdene was a wonderful lady! I so enjoyed sitting with her and visiting with her at bingo. She will be missed so much! But sheer will live on in all of the hearts she touched.
We did not know Verdene other than through her awesome, talented daughter, Lois. We shared “mom” care stories in recent years and we learned that Verdene was quite the active woman til very late in life. She raised a wonderful daughter in Lois whose friendship we value very much. Thank you, Verdene! I’m sure Verdene’s other children are great, too. Our condolences to the entire family. Cherish the memories.
