Verlan enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She loved going to auctions and was an avid collector of many things but teapots were her favorite. She also loved going to the Thrift Store for the bargains and visiting with "her" ladies.
Verlan was always concerned for everyone around her and she will be greatly missed.
