Vernell was an incredible woman of God. And well loved during and after her years at NBC. She was my professor, mentor, student advocate and dear friend. Vernell is dearly loved and missed.

RIP Vernell. And enjoy seeing Jesus face to face, the One whom you served so faithfully! ♥

Truly an amazing woman. May she always be in our hearts. She was a good an faithful servant.

I considered Vernell Posey a friend as well as a professor! I will never forget when I needed surgery while attending Nazarene Bible College. She not only drove me there, but stayed until after the surgery to make sure I was fine. She was certainly a blessing to many students!

Professor Posey was a light on the campus of Nazarene Bible College! Everyone knew you could go to her, and she’d help no matter what she was doing. A Godly woman who was a confident and friend. She’s greatly missed, but we know we will see her again! Happy homegoing Vernell!

PROF. Posey was such a joy, and instrumental in my work as a student at NBC. God Bless You. Crissy Keeton graduate 2004 and 2007.

Remembering this sweet, godly woman as she served us at Nazarene Bible College, Colorado Springs CO. See you again.

I love you my sweet cousin. Rest in peace. Tell my mother I love her and miss her when you get to heaven
