Verna Mae Weber, age 94, of Grand Rapids, was called home to the arms of her heavenly father on Thursday, October 8, 2020.

She also enjoyed playing the piano and dancing. Verna loved hosting parties with a Manhattan in her hand, and Big Gil at her side. She will be remembered at a graveside vigil on Friday, October 16, 2020 at 1:00 p.m. at Oakwood Cemetery in Lowell, MI with Reverend Glenn Schaeffer of St. James Lutheran Church, officiating.
