"Venie" is remembered by her family as a hard-working, and loving mother. She grew up in Somerset County, in a home near Colbourn Creek. She was from a large family which consisted of nine sisters, three brothers, two half-sisters, and one half-brother (her father re-married after the death of his first wife). Her daughter Lily remembered her mother with this poem, written March, 1976:

Her brow was wrinkled, her hair was gray,
and she worked hard, every day.
Going about her chores, humming a tune,
in cold December, or sunny June.

She raised eight children with great pride,
taking the ups and downs in her stride.
With all the hard work, and never a complaint,
truly she was close to a saint.

When I look back on the years of her toil and love,
I know she is still watching over us from above.
This remarkable woman, who was like no other,
a wonderful person, and she was my mother.
