VERONA WILGERS

The memorial service for Verona Wilgers is pending until Spring. It will be at St. John de Britto Catholic Church in Britton. Inurnment will be at the Britton Cemetery under the direction of Olson Funeral Chapel of Britton. Verona Abraham was born June 7, 1929, to Tom and Barbara (Vrchota) Abraham. She attended Britton grade school through the 4th grade. Her dad started a road construction company and they moved to Hillhead, SD. While living there she finished grade school in Hillhead and graduated high school in Veblen, SD. She married her love, Doug Wilgers on September 2, 1947. She then began teaching at Sunny Side School where she loved her 13 pupils in 8 grades. That winter of teaching had hard weather – wind, snow and cold, so she and Doug would walk the railroad tracks to a neighboring farm where the farmer graciously gave them a ride to the school by pulling them in a sled behind his tractor. The next year she did not teach as she was having a baby. Becky was born in November 1948. Becky weighed only 4 pounds, but she and Doug loved every bit of her. 01/31/2024 12:00 AM
