Verniez was a loyal friend to many and a member of several lunch, bridge and book clubs over the years. Verniez loved the theatre and spent many hours at the piano. Her home was always open to friends and family – with a constant flow of dinner parties and holiday celebrations – she was a brilliant host! She served as the President of the Kingston General Hospital Auxiliary and was a long-time member of the Queen’s Faculty Women’s Club. We, her family, love her and will miss her beautiful smile, her endearing laugh, sparkling eyes and generous nature; everything that is Mom, Granny, Great Granny, Verniez. The Richardson family wishes to thank the wonderful and caring staff at Arbour Heights. Donations can be made in her memory to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB). Arrangements entrusted to CATARAQUI CEMETERY AND FUNERAL SERVICES.
