She will be fondly missed by many, many nieces and nephews and remembered forever by her best friends & neighbours, Agnes Brooks (late Jim) and Levina Howard (late Bob). Verley moved to Searchmont in 1960. She was a proud volunteer with the community centre, Cub Scouts and Anglican Church. ‘Mrs. Randell’ to the children, she delighted in her part-time position as noon hour aide at the Searchmont Public School until it’s closure and worked with joy cooking homemade meals at Agnes’ Place. She loved God, her family, ‘real’ country music, hummingbirds, and the colour red.
