Henrie, Verna Ann Verna Ann Henrie 1948 ~ 2005 It is the dawning of a new day for each of us! For those left behind, we must say, "see you later." For those beyond the veil it will be an embrace and hello. Whatever our station at this moment, we pause to celebrate the life of Verna Ann and mourn her passing into the next life. Verna entered this life August 5th, 1948 and in a peaceful moment as the early rays of sunlight entered the room on July 9th 2005, our wife, mother, daughter, and friend bid farewell to all she held dear in mortality, laid the cares of this world aside and entered into her next big adventure. While cancer raided her physical body, nothing could diminish the legacy and love that continues now in each of us. It is good to have an end to the journey, but it is the journey that matters in the end. Verna Ann's love of family, her husband and seven children, were her life's work. Everything she did was to bring peace, happiness, joy, comfort, solace and love to her family. It is the completion of that work and devotion on this earth, which will leave a void in our hearts as we wait the time of reunion. Her love extended to friends and neighbors as well. The outpouring of love, comfort, prayers and concern was evidence of this during the battle she fought so valiantly. At time peace eluded us until we spent time with Verna. Her spirit would calm and soothe even the most troubled heart. In addition to her human family, Verna raised and cared for a family of animals who will rejoice at her entrance into heaven. We never knew a home without the presence of a dog, cat, bunnies, or horses. It is impossible to summarize a life as fulfilled and meaningful as Verna's. Those who know her understand who she is and will carry in their hearts forever how they were blessed by her life. It is also our privilege to share our memories, sorrows and joys with future generations so they may come to know the woman, mother, daughter, wife and friend know as Verna Ann. Mom, it is time to saddle your horse and ride with the wind at your back, the water at your feet and peace in your heart. Watch over us as only you can and be the sunshine on our shoulders. We love you and will see you soon. Vernal is survived by her husband Steve Henrie of Orem; her mother LaVon J. Lindsay of Orem; three sons and three daughters: Ryan Stephen and Ann Westover Henrie, Salt Lake City; Robert and Holly Ann Lowe, Pleasant Grove; Keith and Megan Johnson, Orem; Hutch Lindsay Henrie, Salt Lake City; Cashia Anne Henrie, Orem; and Tyson Jed Henrie, Orem; two grandchildren and two sisters: Glenna Hammond, Portola Valley, CA; and Madelyn Parrish, North Logan, UT.
