Verna Mae Caldwell, 89, beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away on March 2, 2021 in Salt Lake City surrounded by her children.
Verna was born April 9, 1931 in Mona to Violet Estella and Raymond Mark King. She loved and adored her parents deeply. She graduated from Provo High School in 1949. She met her husband, Don Dee Caldwell, on January 16, 1950 and was married two weeks later on February 1st. The marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake City Temple on November 13, 1963.
She lived her life caring for her family. She enjoyed sewing clothes for her six children and grandchildren throughout their lives. Her baking was enjoyed by many, especially her cookies. Each child had their favorite kind. Learning from her mother, she made and shared many wonderful quilts. Making a quilt communicated her love to those who received them. Marriages, babies, and just keeping warm were reasons to give these gifts. She donated many to the Primary Children's Hospital. Writing poetry was one of her joys and secret talents. Later in life, she became a talented painter.
Verna was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings in Primary, Young Women's, and Relief Society. She loved to sing in the choir with her beautiful soprano voice and was a chorister for many years. She treasured the opportunity to serve as a Temple Worker at the Jordan River Temple.
Verna is now enjoying her reunion with her parents, Estella and Raymond King; husband, Don Caldwell; sisters, Jean Stevens, Shirley Strassheim, and Bonnie King; brothers, Raymond Mark King and Earl Ned King; daughter-in-law, Kathie Caldwell; and granddaughter, Heather Caldwell. She left behind sisters, Loy Jolley and Marcia Nelsen; and children, Steven (Joelyn) Caldwell, Raymond Caldwell, Susan (Steven) Berg, Bryce (Danna) Caldwell, Don (Teresa) Caldwell, and Deann (Carl) Jensen. She also has twenty-nine grandchildren and fifty-six great-grandchildren. Her legacy will continue to live on.
Verna always wanted her home to be blessed with the laughter of children, the warmth of a close family, hope for the future, and fond memories of the past.
Verna's funeral service will be held on Saturday, March 6, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. in the Falcon Park Ward Building, 9119 South 1300 East, Sandy. A viewing will precede the service from 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
