Verla Cole

11/26/1956 - 2/7/2026

Verla Cole, 69, passed away on February 7, 2026, surrounded by her children. She was born on November 26, 1956, and spent her life devoted to her family, creating a home filled with warmth, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Verla was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Michael Cole; her sister, Brenda Estes; and her parents, Joan and Ernie Estes.

She leaves behind her greatest pride and joy-her children, Robert Cole, Amanda Modlinski (John), Belinda Stobinski (Matthew), and Virginia McCann (Steve). She was also a deeply loved grandmother to nine grandchildren, each of whom held a very special place in her heart.

Verla's family invites friends and loved ones to join them in celebrating her life and sharing memories at Brandywine Country Club, on March 1, 2026, from 1:00-4:00 p.m.
