Verna Mae (Monroe) Puckett of Muscoda, WI, went home to be with her Lord on Wednesday, April 22, 2020, at the age of 93. She was born in Marietta Valley in Crawford County, Wisconsin, to Faye J. (Boak) Monroe and Delbert Monroe on July 23, 1926.
For most of her youth, she farmed with her parents, and later moved to Sheboygan during World War II and worked in the war effort producing military eating utensils. She also lived in Milwaukee and worked as a telephone operator.
She met her future husband, Fredrick Roland Puckett, at a church picnic, and they were married on April 10th, 1946. They were married for 54 years. They had 7 children, Brian, Fredrick, Kay, Scott, Kem, Merry and Mark. During their married life, they moved several times following Fred’s jobs, living in Washington, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and several other states.
Verna worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant and Medical Technician for many years. She enjoyed supporting and raising her family, drinking coffee, nurturing her house plants, cooking, canning, gardening, sewing, embroidering, quilting, knitting, reading, and watching television, especially old westerns.
After grieving Fred’s passing in August of 2000, she began to travel with her friends and going to dances, and Verna LOVED to dance, often time going to dances 3 or 4 times a week-continuing up until shortly before her passing. She was an active member of the Southwest Wisconsin Country Music Association.
She served as a Foster Grandparent at Riverdale Elementary School in Muscoda for over 15 years and is remembered fondly by those children whose lives she touched.
She was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and was a Certified Member of the Presbyterian Church of Muscoda since 1999. She enjoyed supporting charities whose missions were focused on improving the quality of life of children.
For almost 20 years, she enjoyed being a part of the Birthday Babes-a group of treasured friends that met every Tuesday morning for breakfast at The Port, and once a month enjoyed lunch at a restaurant of the Birthday Girls choosing.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Fredrick Roland Puckett, son Fredrick (Freddie) Puckett, granddaughter Markie Mae Puckett, her parents, Faye (Boak) Monroe and Delbert Monroe, and several brothers.
She is survived by her children Brian (Mary) Puckett, Kay (Tom) Pink, Scott (Mary) Puckett, Kem Puckett, Mark (Pam) Puckett, and Merry (Bruce) Schellhase, as well as 9 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.
Verna will be remembered for her rock-solid faith, her feisty personality, her gentle touch and kindness, her dedication to her children, her grandchildren, and her friends. To quote her Daughter in Law, Pam Puckett “everybody loved Verna, and she was a huge part of the community in which she lived.”
She was a beloved Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Foster Grandmother and Friend and she will be greatly missed.
Private family graveside services were held at the Muscoda Cemetery.
