Verla Letteer

August 17, 1915 — January 5, 2014

Verla L. Letteer, 98, Wahpeton, ND, passed away Sunday, January 5th, 2014, at St. Francis Healthcare Campus, Breckenridge MN. A memorial service will be held Saturday, January 11th, 11:00 a.m., at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Wahpeton, with Rev. Morris W. Stephens, Jr officiating. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service at the church. Arrangements are entrusted to Vertin-Munson Funeral Home, Wahpeton, ND.

Verla was born August 17, 1915, in Wilkin County, Minnesota, the daughter of William and Zelma (McDougall) Garrett. She grew up on a farm and graduated from Breckenridge High School. She married Ray Letteer on October 7, 1933 in Sisseton, SD. They lived in Doran, MN, until moving to Wahpeton, ND. Verla worked for many years for Rustad Investments Company as the office secretary. After the business closed, she had the loving heart to take care of her family members in their home for several years.

Verla had a great love for gardening, canning of several vegetables and delicious jams, crocheting, and numerous craft hobbies. She especially had the green thumb for a basement full of violets. She loved listening to her elite record collection and had a musical talent to play piano. Verla loved spending time with her family and friends the most because that is when she could share her love of cooking and trying new recipes.

Verla is survived by her son, Richard (Janice) Letteer, Bismarck; two siblings, Jan (Larke) Perry, Sterling, IL and Russell Garrett, Fulton, IL; seven grandchildren, Bridget, Liz, Holly, Scott, Colleen, Paula, and Kevin; and fifteen great-grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Ray; her daughter, Shirley; two sisters, Hazel Elders and Ruth Pearson; four brothers, Richard Garrett, Ralph Garrett, Walt Garrett, Howard Garrett; and her granddaughter, Karen Pankow.
