She taught 6th grade girls at Murray Hill Baptist Church for 30 years and a few years in the ladies adult class. She worked at Murray Hill Baptist as a secretary for the daycare for 15 years. We will always remember her love for gardening, reading, writing, sewing, cooking, and believing in Angels. She loved genealogy and did a lot of research on family members. She was soft spoken, but a Godly example and would put everyone before herself. She will be missed, but know she is home with Jesus and Daddy.
Vernell was predeceased by her loving husband, Devon Patton, of 67 years. They have four daughters, Vivian (Eddie) Parrish, Jan (Wade) Niergarth, Vena (Greg) Patton-Stanbury and Bonnie (Audy) Lloyd. They have five grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren (with one on the way).
Vernell Patton's family will receive friends from 11am to 12pm on Wednesday March 11, 2020 at Murray Hill Baptist Church 4300 Post St Jacksonville, FL 32205. Her Celebration of Life will begin immediately after at 12pm, with reception to follow.
