She was a faithful member of Galilee Baptist Church and a former member of the Ushers Ministry.

Verne retired from the Department of Corrections in 2024. She thoroughly enjoyed retirement until her health started failing.

Verne enjoyed life to the fullest.

Verne married her soulmate in August 1997 and to this union they had one son, AJ. Verne's biggest joy in life came from being a wife and a mother. She loved being the wife of a farmer and raising AJ on the farm. She was so proud of the man that AJ has become and the beautiful young lady who AJ has chosen to be by his side.
