Verna attended Seneca Indian school in Wyandotte OK.,Haskell Indian school in Lawrence KS. and Bartlesville Business College. She retired from the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. She was a proud member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians. Verna’s family belong to the Turtle Clan and shared a deep seeded root in Native American ancestory and culture.
