Janet Carol Chisholm Verny

It is with quiet sorrow that we share the passing of Janet “Carol” Verny of Wake Forest, North Carolina, on November 16, 2025. Her life was shaped by brightness, curiosity, and a warm spirit that brought joy to those around her. She leaves behind a legacy held dearly in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to cross her path.

A graduate of UNC Greensboro, she dedicated many years to her work as a librarian. She treated this work not as a job, but as a calling. She often gifted the joy of learning to others, sharing new novels to spark interest and curiosity in the world around us.

Outside of her work, she created a life filled with simple joys. Books were her constant companions, offering her imagination new places to wander and reminisce. Her garden was another source of happiness. It was a small world she tended with care, season after season. She also found peace in watching birds gather outside her window, taking delight in their small daily visits.

She moved through the world with intention and kindness. Those who knew her will remember the warmth of her presence, the brightness of her humor, and the ways she inspired the people around her.

She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, neighbors, and the community that grew around her. They will carry her memory with nostalgic affection and deep respect for the way she lived.

May she rest in peace, surrounded by the beauty and calm she cherished.

The family will receive friends on Monday, November 24, 2025 from 2:00-4:00 pm at Pugh Funeral Home, 437 Sunset Avenue in Asheboro.
