The Tehachapi News 
Verta Mae Wills
July 15, 1914 – March 2, 2005

Funeral services will be held Friday, March 11, at 10 a.m. at the Wood Family 
Funeral Service chapel for Verta Mae Wills, 90, who returned home to the Lord 
on March 2.

Verta was born on July 15, 1914 in Checotah, Okla. to Silas and Sylverine 
Smith. She married her loving husband, Joseph H. Wills, on March 8, 1933 in 
Stilwell, Okla. and remained married for 70 years until his passing in 2004. 

Verta lived her life according to Matthew 10:26, "With God all things are 
possible." She loved her family, nurtured her gardens and was of service to 
her fellow man. Her home was always a place of warm welcome and she never 
allowed visitors to leave without a smile or a full stomach. She was a 
talented cook, gardener, seamstress and human being. She loved the Lord and 
spent each day of her life following His example. She was a wonderful wife, 
mother and grandmother. 

Verta will be missed by all of us who knew and loved her, but her loving 
influence and example will continue to touch  the lives of everyone who knew 
her.

Verta is survived by her son, Norman L. Wills and his wife Betty of 
Bakersfield; daughter, Patsy Denison of Tehachapi; grandchildren, Sharon 
Wasden and her husband Bob of Cedar City, Utah and Lee Ann Hansen and her 
husband Rich, of Salt Lake City, Utah; great-granddaughters, Anna Wasden and 
Ava Hansen; sister, Hazel Tribble of Montana; and numerous nieces and nephews, 
especially Phyllis and DeeRoy Crowell, who gave special loving care to Verta.

Visitation will be from 2 to 7 p.m. at Wood Family Funeral Service on 
Thursday, March 10. Pastor Mark Staller of the Apostolic Faith Church will 
officiate at the service. Interment will follow at the Tehachapi Public 
Cemetery, Eastside. 

Wood Family Funeral Service handled the arrangements.
