Huntsville- Verna Ellis Hislop, 88, passed away after living a full and wonderful life on May 5, 2009. Verna was born July 27, 1920 in Rigby, Idaho. She was the last of six children of Charles Edward Ellis and Louisa Catherine Southwick Ellis. She married John D. Hislop on Aug. 22, 1940. As lifelong residents of Huntsville, they started their family with the birth of their son, Kent D. born July 4, 1941 followed by Paul Richard (Dick) born August 11, 1942. Her husband, John, died on April 21, 1971, and her son Dick died April 21, 2005.
She was a member of the LDS Church, The FOE 2472, and the American Legion Post 129. She lived most of her life in Huntsville.
Verna worked for IRS until her retirement in 1980.
Verna is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Kent and Sandy Hislop; five granddaughters; six great-grandsons and four great-granddaughters.
Her parents; a granddaughter; and a great-grandson also preceded her in death, as did two brothers, Rulon and Bill Ellis and three sisters, Ora Bybee, Orba Brown and Ella Murray.
Mom handed me a saying a few days ago and she told me this was how she felt. "The satisfactions of my life are many, but there comes a time when I have had a sufficient measure of its enjoyments, and may well depart contented with what I have experienced"
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 9, 2009 at Myers Mortuary, 845 Washington Blvd., Ogden. Friends may call from 9:45 to 10:45 prior to the service. Lyle Bailey will be officiating.
