Verna was born at home in Okemah, Oklahoma October 18, 1919 to Archie and Effa (Carter) Owen. She was the youngest of their surviving children. The family moved to Idaho in 1930 where she had resided since that time.

After they retired, Frank and Verna spent the winters in Quartzsite, Arizona exploring the desert with their friends there. She also enjoyed crocheting, quilting, crossword puzzles and her coffee. She was baptized into the Church of Christ in Buhl in 1948.
