Vernetta H. Hamblin's Obituary
In the early morning hours on Monday, September 9th, and surrounded by love and family, Vernetta Helen Hamblin made her peaceful transition into the arms of her Heavenly Father.
Born the eve of Christmas in 1945, Vernie grew up in Newhall, California the second oldest of five siblings learning her exceptionally strong work ethic and love of family from her father Walt and mother Irene.
Vernie's time here was spent in the loving company of her dedicated husband of 45 years, David Hamblin and her loving children. The devoted and caring mother of five, Vernie is survived by her daughter Tracy Dupuis, of Spokane; daughter Teri Jackson of Portland; son Steven Pabst of Longmont, Colorado; daughter Trisha Cress of Austin, Texas; son Vincent Hamblin of Scappoose; and step-daughter Dawn Ferrucci of Coventry, Rhode Island.
Vernie will be remembered as a compassionate mother, caring partner, benevolent friend, and ardent patriot. Touching so many lives for the better, she left beautiful marks on the hearts and souls of those she encountered.
A private family viewing will be held on Thursday evening and a public service at 11:00am on Friday at the St. Helens LDS Church.
