Verna cherished these roles in her family and had lovingly made, throughout the years, her children and grandchildren handmade crocheted afghans. Throughout the years, as co-owner in their logging business, she served up many meals in her kitchen to sawmill crews and sold many board feet of lumber to buyers. Friends and neighbors could always enjoy a good homecooked meal at Verna Lee’s kitchen table. Verna loved to crochet, fish, collect recipes, can, and cook. Some of Verna’s favorite foods were pickled beets, muscadine jelly, homemade ice cream, fried catfish, sweet tea, green tomato relish, plums, and a good watermelon. Verna was a Christian and a longtime, loyal member of Pineview Missionary Baptist Church, serving as church secretary for forty-five plus years . Verna loved life, her family and friends, her church, and her community, and she will be greatly missed by all.
Much appreciation to Whispering Pines Nursing Home and Heart to Heart Hospice for their loving care of Verna. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Pineview Cemetery, c/o Carolyn Spence, 1164 CR 4490, Winnsboro, TX 75494.
