Vernita Lee Goulet, of Vancouver, passed away March 20, 2013 in Vancouver, from complications with rheumatoid arthritis.
She was born to Leonard William and Esther Elizabeth (Els) Schorzman on July 26, 1936, in Wenatchee. As a young girl she lived in Quincy, and was baptized and confirmed in the Evangelical Reformed Church in Quincy. In 1954 she graduated from high school in Quincy.
Vernita married Waldon Edward Huffman May 12, 1956 and had two sons, Rodney Allen and Tyron Lee. She later married Kenneth L. Goulet Feb. 6, 1965 and they adopted two boys, Mark and Jeffrey Goulet. She and her family moved to Vancouver in 1969 where she resided until the time of death.
Vernita was an active member in the First Church of God of Vancouver where she acquired another family of love and friendship. Vernita was employed as a bus driver with C-Tran in Vancouver from 1980 until retirement in 2005.
Her strong spirit and faith represented her way of life in the humble way she lived. She was quick to encourage independence and her home was always open, but she stood firm in her faith and beliefs with the values she instilled in others. Her genuine personality and sense of humor will be remembered fondly for the many smiles and laughter she brought to everyone who crossed her path. She loved the outdoors, working in her yard, and the many wild and domestic animals she cared for over the years.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Leonard William and Esther Elizabeth (Els) Schorzman, and sister, Roberta Jean Robertson.
Survivors include sons, Rodney Allen Goulet, Tyron Lee (Vickie) Goulet, Mark Goulet and Jeffrey Goulet. Grandchildren include Ryan, Jeffrey, Kyle, Jason and Jensen Goulet, Julie Brandon, Jeff Larsen, Jason Charlson and Heather (Daniel) Smith. Great-grandchildren include Nicole, Haley and Tyler Smith; Max, Allison and Kendal Brandon; and Cassidy Larsen.
Other survivors include sister, Sharon (Larry) Bonar, of Snohomish, uncle, Ernie Schorzman, of Wenatchee, aunt, Viola Els, of Odessa, nephew, Brian Bonar, and nieces, Suzanne Morris, Elizabeth Erikson, Allison Kirby and Carrie Hyatt.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held at the First Church of God in Vancouver, on April 13. Interment will be at Memory Memorial Park, Vancouver. Memorials may be made to the First Church of God, in Vancouver.

Note: Vernita sometimes drove the school bus I rode, into Quincy, as a substitute driver, before moving to Vancouver. That was SO long ago, and since she was a sub-driver, I didn't see her too often, but I'll tell you--I can remember her in my minds eye as clear as if it were yesterday. She was one of those rare people who knew how to balance being strict with having a good sense of humor and a cheerful attitude around kids, and from a kid's perspective, she made you feel like you were just as important as any adult. Until I can thank you in Heaven, face-to-face, I'll leave this expression of gratitude here and hope that some of your family will see it and know that you were appreciated by and a positive influence on someone they most likely will never meet in this life.
