Adele Charity, Colleen Hope & Vicki Faith-
Perfect tribute for your mom. I have such fond memories of her and many more memories have returned to me over the past few days. I will read someone else’s comments and think, “Oh, yeah, I remember the orange lipstick and crocheting and Hollyhock dolls and Avon and Skin So Soft!” So much about Verna trickled its way down through Adele and into my friendship with Adele.
I have always loved the middle names your parents gave the three of you! Just so cool! If I had to describe your mom in one word during the years I knew her the best (1970’s), COOL would absolutely be the word! Pretty sure I learned that word from Adele, too! My mom still laughs when we recall your mom’s famous garage door incident(s) that my dad fixed! Twice! I can almost see and hear him teasing your mom about those garage doors!
I vividly remember watching the progress of her amazing classroom quilt and (again) thinking, “How cool!” I remember lots of books, too! Between Scholastic and the Newscenter West, Adele always had so many “cool” books and I remember borrowing many from her.
I am sure the fact that both of my closest childhood friends’ mothers were teachers had something to do with me becoming a teacher when I went to Messiah. I remember being so fascinated by your mom’s stories and all of her books and the neat activities she did with her students. Verna has truly left a legacy that will last forever through her family, her students, and anyone who knew her. I feel so blessed to have been influenced by her and I am grateful to continue enjoying her legacy today through the skills she taught to Adele years ago.
My calendar now has an annually repeating event on April 21. I have a few clumps of purple irises (see attached photo) so every year on your mom’s birthday, I plan to divide and replant them at random places on our property in her memory. How cool will that be!
