Duna Frances Verich Combs, age 90, of Harold, KY, widow of Townsel Allen Combs, passed away on Sunday, December 20, 2020 at her residence. She was born June 7, 1930 in Laona, WI, a daughter of the late Peter and Annetta Mariani Verich.
She was an artist, creating hundreds of paintings and artworks through her lifetime. She touched everything in her life with artistic sensibility. She was painting with Aquarelle in her Art Gallery in Langley until last month.

She was a Founding Member, with her dear friend, Jocelyn Dickson, of the Lexington Investment Club, a group of savvy and intelligent women who pooled their resources to learn about stocks and investing, they had a close camaraderie.
