Vervene Leone Carlisle

The greatest happiness is birth; the greatest unfelt by millions tragedy is death.

May Our God Grant The Family Members forebearance and patience and the departed soul to be in God's Heavens. Amen.

We wish to express our condolences at the passing of Representative Carlisle. We hope your family will be comforted as you face this significant change of circumstances in your lives.

May God Grant Her Heavens and She Be At Peace forever.

I knew Vervene when we were both students at the Lincoln Elementary, at 3900 So. and 500 East in S.L. County. She was a vivacious, laugh-filled person and fun to be around. Our lives took different pathways and so I knew nothing of her life. I'm glad it was so filled with activities and accomplishments. I have emailed a copy of her obit to several people who will remember her.

Vee, thank you for everything you have done for others and for me. You will be missed by a lot of people. God Bless

Vee was such a great role model and mentor for me. I had the privilege of serving as her campaign intern in 1974 and her legislative intern in the 1975 general session. I have more than a few colorful stories about the "caucuses" held in the women's restroom during the fight to ratify the ERA during that session. Vee continued to be a great friend for many, many years after that political association. Sadly, I will be out of town for her services, otherwise I'd be in the front row singing...

While Vee was known as a champion of causes that effected women, as a young man I was proud to consider her one of my mentors. She always worked hard to support her beliefs. She was unique. I can see and hear her laugh when I look at her photo. The life she brought into a room is sorely missed.
