In Loving Memory ~
Verley passed away peacefully on March 22, 2024 at the North Okanagan Hospice House at the age of 76 from cancer.
Born in Saskatchewan, Verley grew up with her brother Allan and her cousins Gary, Patti and Kevin. The family moved to Richmond, BC where she eventually met and married the love of her life, Butch Calvert. Shortly after marrying, Butch and Verley moved to the Okanagan where they started their family.
Together, they were involved in stock car racing, snowmobiling, demolition derby, camping, traveling and later in life go-karting.
After Butch passed, Verley continued to enjoy camping, traveling, kayaking, her beloved pets and spending time with family and friends.
While Verley tried many jobs throughout her life, she settled into upholstery when she opened Kitti Kat Upholstery over 40 years ago.
Survived by her daughters Gwen (Shane) and Leanne; her grandchildren Jamie and Shania (Lane); her great granddaughters Nova and Dani; her brother Allan Smith.
She will be forever missed.
A celebration of Verley's life will be held on Friday, May 10, 2024 at 1:00 pm at Pleasant Valley Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, consider making a donation to North Okanagan Hospice House.
