Dean Buie and they made their home southeast of Eakly where she worked alongside her husband on the family farm, milking cows, hoeing crops and drove an 801 Ford Tractor that her son, Jim still owns today. Verla was dedicated to working alongside her husband on the family farm, only putting her foot down to not move the Irrigation Pipe, which was the one thing she would not do. In 1958, they moved into Eakly where she helped at the public school by substituting. Verla enjoyed her grandchildren, Colony Jamboree and music. Memorials may be made to Methodist Church of Eakly, Eakly Fire Department.
