Verna Rae Gordon

Verna Rae Gordon, beloved daughter of Michael and Lucila Gordon, passed away on March 8, 2026, in Norfolk, Virginia, at the age of 41. Born on April 12, 1984, on a military base in Japan where her father was stationed, Verna entered the world as a tiny but vibrant presence, weighing just four pounds. She quickly became the joy of her parents’ lives.

Throughout her life, Verna faced significant medical challenges that required her to depend on others. Despite these difficulties, she was never viewed as a burden. To her mother, Lucila, she remained her cherished baby, and the tender bond between them endured through the years.

Verna was preceded in death by her father, Michael Gordon. She is survived by her devoted mother, Lucila Gordon, and many loving aunts, uncles, and extended family members who held her dear.

Though her time with them was not long, Verna’s gentle spirit and the love she shared will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and cherished her.
