Verna leaves behind many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews as well as a large extended family and friends. Everyone who knew her will feel the loss of her warm smile and generosity. No one ever left her house without a wave from the doorway and a full belly. In her early career, Verna enjoyed working with differently abled individuals and later in life she was the proud owner of Suncatcher Kennels. Among her many hobbies she loved gardening, and baking and cooking for her loved ones, knitting and crafts and was a wonderful artist. More than anything else, her favorite thing to do was spend time with her large and loving family. We would like to pass on a special thank you to Palliative Care Nurse Debbie Williams, the Chemo clinic staff, VON nurses and Dr. Thana and his staff for never giving up. In lieu of flowers, we would like to ask that donations be made, in Verna’s name, to the Canadian Cancer society. A celebration of Life will be held for family and friends at a later date.
