Verna Heske

June 15,1928 - September 25, 2017

Verna, was born Amy Iva Verna Groseclose, in Tisdale Saskatchewan and was one of five children. She had many fond memories of growing up on her family farm. Verna, in the late

40's, moved to Caronport, SK to attend Bible School.

It was there that she met Gerald Stevens. They married in 1950 and had six children; Darrel, Dale, Ralph, Donna, Randy, and Jewel.

Verna always took pride in caring for her home and raising her children.

After raising her children, Verna found work in conducting surveys. She loved this work as it involved travelling and meeting new people. In 1991 she married Henry Heske.

The two of them loved spending time outdoors, especially hiking and golfing. They also took several trips to Arizona and Northern Mexico. In addition to her enjoyment of the outdoors, she also loved to read and drink a good cup of coffee.

Verna was a very proud Grandma, she had the joy of being a grandmother to her 14 grandchildren and a great grandmother to her 15 great grandchildren. Family was so

important to her and she enjoyed spending time with them.

Mom loved Jesus. She knew God held her in His hands and that He was ever faithful. Mom so looked forward to going to her heavenly home and is now at peace. She will be missed by all who knew her.

The Memorial Service will be held at Emmanuel Baptist Church at 4:00 pm on Sunday Oct 1st, 2017, 3412 15th Ave Vernon B.C.
