Verna attended Kearney State Teachers College the summer of 1953 earning her Teaching Certificate. She then went on to teach the next two years at Mount Olive (Burr Oak) school north of Sumner. While teaching there she met Dean (Bud) Wood. They married September 25, 1955, in Lexington Ne. To this union, one daughter, Mala Kim was born.
