Vernas father passed away at a young age; therefore, was very close to her mother. She lived with and took care of her until her passing in July of 1999.

Verna enjoyed gardening, puzzles, playing cards and most importantly her faith and church. She also enjoyed eating at the Riverview Hotel in Bellevue. Those left to honor her memory include her sister in-law Dolores Keil, seven nieces and nephews and several great nieces and nephews.Verna Mae is preceded in death by her parents, brother Robert Keil and sister, Mary Lou (Charlie) Schreiber, two special people she has missed dearly. Verna Maes family would like to thank the staff at Mill Valley Care Center, Nurses at Hospice of Jackson County and her best friend, Gina Hingtgen, for the wonderful care and compassion they provided her.
