She was a proud grandmother to 14 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Vernaline dedicated her career to nursing at John’s Community Hospital and was an active member of the Texas League of Vocational Nurses for over 20 years.

Known as the rock of the family, Vernaline brought everyone together with her delicious cooking and warm hospitality. She was extremely independent and had hardworking qualities that inspired all who knew her. Vernaline loved watching her grandchildren participate in sports and was their biggest fan, cheering them on at every game and event.
