Verla Almeida

OGDEN - Verla Rae Opheikens Almeida, 68, passed away Tuesday, November 16, 2004 at her home.

She was born July 17, 1936 in Ogden to Joseph Jens and Fannie Hilton Opheikens. She married Richard E. Almeida on January 9, 1952 in Ogden.

Verla was a member of the LDS church.

Mom loved her family and friends. She enjoyed playing bingo and trips to Wendover, but most of all she enjoyed her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We will miss her terribly.

Surviving are her husband Richard; one daughter and three sons, Virginia Valdez, Richard (Sherrie) Almeida; Robert (Larae) Almeida; Roger (Allison) Almeida; 13 grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren. Also surviving are two sisters, Ruby (John) Burns and Barbara (Art) Sheron.

The family would like to give a special thanks to Verla's special grandson David for all his love and care during grandma's illness.

She was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Joe and Eddy; and three daughters Albertina, Delores and Denise.
