Lizabeth Bibiana Verjano

21, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Lizabeth was born on February 14, 1969, in Medellín, Colombia, to Dario Trujillo Montoya

and Lucy Delgado. She grew up in Miami Beach, where she attended school and later

graduated from Phoenix University. On September 8, 2000, she married Ricardo Verjano in

Miami Beach, FL, forming a partnership grounded in love and dedication.

Lizabeth was a passionate and selfless advocate for families in need. She worked as the

Program Director for the Federation of Families Miami-Dade Chapter for nearly ten years, a

role in which she touched countless lives. She never met anyone she didn’t want to help,

and through her work with the Federation and other organizations, she provided support

and hope to families across the Greater Miami area during their most difficult times.

Lizabeth faced the profound loss of her daughter, Katherine Elizabeth Verjano, with grace

and determination. She channeled her grief into creating the Katherine Elizabeth

Foundation, which provides hope, support, and healing to families coping with loss.

Beyond her foundation, Lizabeth was deeply involved in the Miami Beach Latin Chamber of

Commerce and played a key role in the Sister Cities program connecting Miami Beach and

Cozumel, Mexico.

Lizabeth is survived by her husband, Ricardo Verjano, and her loving children, Nathon Allen

Berndt and Nikole Alexis Rodriguez, as well as her stepchildren, Ricky, Jonathann, and Julio

Verjano. Her memory will also live on through her adored grandchildren, Katheryn Victoria,

Meagan Rose, and Maxwell Allen Berndt, as well as her step grandchildren, Xaviier, Emma,

Ricky, Sophia, Olivia and Isabella Verjano. She is also survived by her sister, Jessica

Alejandra Aguirre; her stepfather, German Aguirre; and her mother, Lucy Delgado.

A Celebration of Life Gathering will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, February 4th at Fred

Hunters Funeral Home, 6301 Taft Street, Hollywood, FL.

Lizabeth’s family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the Oncology teams at

Mount Sinai Medical Center and UM Health hospitals for their exceptional care and

unwavering support throughout her journey.

Lizabeth’s legacy of compassion, resilience, and love will live on in the lives she touched

and the family she cherished. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
