Verna Geraldine (Mueth) Bassemier, 88, of Evansville, Indiana, passed away on Sunday, September 15, 2024 at Ascension St. Vincent Evansville.
Verna was born in Vincennes, Indiana on December 18, 1935 to the late Werner Albanus and Mabel (Ackerson) Mueth. She retired from nursing after 40 years of service. Verna met her husband, Richard, as a child and were married on February 23, 1963. They were together until his passing on April 20, 1997. Verna was kind hearted and the sweetest lady you would have ever met. She enjoyed crocheting, doing crosswords, and reading. Verna liked all music, especially listening to the cello and playing the clarinet. In her free time you could find Verna outside relaxing and watching hummingbirds. She loved to spoil her children and her grandchildren. Verna will be remembered as a loving mother, sister and grandmother.
