Verlean Musick

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband of fifty six years, Berkley Musick; sons, Swanson Musick and Ira Musick; daughter, Wanda Powers; three brothers, one sister and grandson, Frank Powers.

Survivors include three daughters, Linda Barton, Shirley Brown (husband Herb) and Marilyn Musick, sixteen grandchildren, twenty-eight great-grandchildren, three great-great grandchildren, several nieces, nephews, extended family, cherished friends and neighbors.

As a member of the Freewill Baptist Church, Verlean loved to sing with her husband and friends at many churches before her husband passed away. She was a passionate gardener and spent most of her summers tending her garden and preserving fruits and vegetables that she shared with family and friends. A visit to “Momaw’s” was rewarded with a jar of apple butter or a bag of apple chips. Her winters were spent making afghans. Many old friends, family and new friends she made will cherish her memory with the beautiful afghans and scarves that she shared. She was especially proud of her afghan that won a prize at the Appalachian Fair.

A memorial service will be held at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, June 29, 2021 at the Combs-Hess Funeral Service Chapel with the Reverend Otis Musick officiating. Visitation will precede the service from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. A private interment will be held at a later date.
