Verse Sanders Obituary

Verse Sanders 85, lost his battle with cancer November 3, 2016. His strong faith in Resurrection hope helped him to endure to the end. As one of Jehovah's Witnesses he loved to preach and encourage others to build strong faith. He aided many family members to learn of Jehovah's Love. He was extremely talented in building and design. His greatest joy was volunteering with the RBC to advance construction of Kingdom Halls where pure worship is promoted. He will greatly be missed and was loved by many. He married Mary Webb in 1952 and had 10 children Verse Sanders III, Richard (Joyce) Sanders, Charmain Caffey, Gladys Bailey, Mary (Louis) Rivera, Sheila Bandy, Sharon (Steve) Page, Carol (Carl) Davis and Wesley Sanders. He was blessed with 12 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and devoted friend Ricky Bandy. Funeral services will be held privately.

Brother vs. Sanders very dear to me I haven't talked to him since leaving Gary Indiana back in 1993, but he holds a special place in my heart for the encouragement that he gave. Also I think of the few times that he asked me the substitute a talk joining the Theocratic Ministry School. I truly look forward to seeing this fateful brother in the truth when he is Resurrected back to life on a cleansed earth during the 1000 year reign of Christ Jesus

ME AND DAD IN 2014--WILL BE MISSED!!!!!
