Hattie Verlene Ohler passed away Thursday, December 12, 2013 at the age of 78 years old. She lived a full life with her husband of 62 years Henry Eugene Ohler. Verlene had a passion for her family and kept busy over the years cheering on her children and grandchildren at softball, volleyball, soccer, and basketball games or gathering everyone together for her famous Saturday brunches. She loved to spend time with her friends bowling or miniature golfing and sharing some laughs over lunch. Verlene loved the Lord Jesus Christ and was very involved with her church family, spending many Fridays mornings in prayer with her prayer circle at Colonial Heights. She survived breast cancer by faith and with the support of her loved ones. Verlene finished her race with grace and patience touching the lives around her with love, compassion, strength and encouragement.
