December 11, 1940 – August 13, 2018
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, sister, and aunt. Verna was born on December 11, 1940, and departed on August 13, 2018, due to complications from diabetes.
Predeceased by her youngest son (Bobby), husband (Larry Baric), parents (Anne and Peter Fosty), and siblings (Mourice and Pauline), she leaves to mourn her sons Nicky and Shawn (Maria and Angie) and siblings Mary, Angie, Joe, Orest, Bill, Natalie, and Arlene.
Verna was born on a farm in Saskatchewan where she loved and cherished the natural world and all of its myriad creatures, a love she carried with her when she left the prairies for the lure of Vancouver where she raised her family. Ever a free spirit, Verna was a kind and gentle soul. A wonderfully loving mother, ever gracious and generous, she persevered with courage and resilience as diabetes continued to take its toll. And it is those qualities - her free spirit, gentle nature, kindness, generosity, and resilience – for which we will remember her best.
A Memorial Service will be held Sunday, August 19, 2018, at 2:00 at Glenhaven Memorial Chapel, preceded by a chance to say goodbye from 12:00 – 2:00 in the viewing room. In lieu of flowers, if so desired, please donate to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
