Verna Gullett, age 80, of Bellbrook, OH passed away on August 14, 2019 at the Hospice of Dayton. Verna was born on November 3, 1938 in Lunenburg, MA. She was the daughter of Walter and Leticia (Illsley) Blair.

After receiving her Bachelor's Degree from Atlantic Union College,Verna taught school for 4 years. She would then marry the love of her life, Augustus "Gus" Gullett, Sr., on November 22, 1962 in Morrisville, VT. Together, they began raising their family and Verna became a full-time homemaker and mother to her 3 sons.

In her free time, Verna loved feeding her birds and squirrels and taking walks in the woods with her boys and pet dogs. During these walks, Verna would share stories while they would hunt for wild berries. Her sons would sometimes pick berries with her and they each wanted their own pies, and she often obliged. Along with baking "the best pies," Verna was also an excellent cook. She enjoyed sharing her recipes with family and friends. Verna especially enjoyed making home made pizzas with her family; she actually wrote a poem about their family pizza-making experiences.
