Verlee entered life on November 24, 1934 in Rupert, Idaho.  She is the 10^th of eleven children born to Hyrum and Laura Robbins and quickly became known as Squeak.  She died peacefully in her sleep on Thursday April 7, 2016 in Salt Lake City, Utah, after a brief illness with the diagnosis of leukemia. Her spirit is carried on by her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and her many extended family members and friends.

We were blessed to learn many valuable lessons from this wonderful woman, during her 81 years. Among them: unconditional love, never judge a person by their walk of life, keep a positive attitude, continually learn, serve others, pay attention to your surroundings and keep an eye on the neighborhood, never go on your walk without a small bat and your whistle, reuse your zip-lock baggies, hugs are important, and never smoke.

She married her sweetheart in the Idaho Falls Temple on June 3, 1953. Verlee spent thousands of hours in service both with the community and church.  She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints where she served in many auxiliary positions. Including serving with her husband on a proselyting mission to Ghana, West Africa. Where they made many new and eternal friends, some of which wanted to live with them, attend BYU Idaho and ride their bicycle to and from Rexburg daily. She enjoyed many hours working with the Minicassia Christmas Council.  In addition to being the mother for countless foster children.

Verlee was preceded in death by her husband Gerald Ira, son Myron Gerald, grandson Taylor Zane, her parents, and her brothers Gerald, Lovell, Gene, Max, Milton, and Rodney, sisters Gwen Stevenson, Lula Short, and Rae Bosworth.  She is survived by her children Verlynn (Phillip) Schenk, Charlotte Boardman, Teresa Frost, Stacy Ira (Stacey) Frost, and Kelly Todd Frost. Grandchildren Dana (Haywood) Johnson, Kara (Travis) Tegan, Jade (Liz) Schenk, Tosha (Paul) Saupan, and Jordan Nicolas. Great- grandchildren Nashaya and Isaiah Johnson, Halle, Brayden, Carter, and baby Schenk, Makia Supan, and Olivia Tegan. Her brother Leo (Barbara) Robbins, and many in laws, nieces, and nephews.

So sorry to hear about Verlee's passing.  She was a dear friend and such a wonderful lady.  We will miss her very much.

From Dave & Betty Barrett
One of our favorite people has left this world. She will be missed. We loved her and always waited for her to come and greet us at sacrament meeting. I'm sure there is a great reunion with her husband. May the lord bless her family at this time.

From Leslie Wheeler
Aunt Verlee was a very special person to so many of us. She may be gone, but certainly not forgotten.

From Rita Taylor
Just about a month ago at a church event she commented to me how much she enjoyed coming in to where I work and seeing my lovely smile. But really I sure loved going to church and seeing her lovely smile the most.  A genuine and most endearing person in this community will be missed greatly.  Yet her sweet kindness will always be instilled in my heart.
