Verna was born in Phoenix, Arizona to Lloyd Covell Sr. and Verna (Ehlers) on July 16, 1928. She graduated from Bruno High School in Bruno, Arkansas. She was a legal secretary most of her adult life, but her real calling was service. Verna lived to help others learn, grow and succeed. This made her an exceptional mother, wife, and friend. She will be dearly missed.
Verna is survived by four loving daughters, Lynn McIntyre of Arkansas, Catherine Sare of Grand Junction, Cheryl Huskey and Susan Link of Missouri; her cherished sister, Nancy Anderson of Grand Junction; as well as many grands and great grands. She is preceded in death by her husband and love of her life, Gale Pottorff, and one brother, Lloyd Covell Jr.
No services are planned, but there will be a moment of remembrance at her church, North East Christian, Sunday July 1st during their regular service.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations in memory of Verna to the non-profit HopeWest Hospice Care Center, 3090B N. 12th. Street, Grand Junction, CO 81506.
