Veryl was a successful Avon representative and in the President’s Club for over 40 years. She volunteered at Providence Hospital and Albertina Kerr where she worked in the gift shop and modeled. She loved square dancing, gardening and traveling the world. Veryl was a devoted homemaker who loved caring for her family. We all greatly appreciated her sewing and knitting our clothes, as well as canning our favorite fruits and other items, and one of our favorites – selecting items from the Avon catalog. She took pride in all of this. We will all miss her.
