MERRICK Verna A Maynard
On the morning of Saturday, Oct. 30, 2010, Verna A. (Merrick) Maynard of
East Canton went home to be with the Lord while at Robert Packer Hospital, with
her loving family at her side. She was 81 years of age. Born Nov. 2, 1928, in
LeRoy, she was the daughter of Luther J. and Ruth (Crofut) Merrick. Verna grew
up at the family homestead in a house built by her great-grandfather. Following
her graduation from Canton High School she took a secretarial position in
Wellsboro and made her residence there. One Sunday while attending church she
met a young soldier returning home from the war named Carroll Maynard.
Friendship led to courtship and in December of 1947 they were married. Carroll
went back to school in Houghton, N.Y. and Verna worked as a secretary at the
college. Carroll felt the Lord's call and entered the ministry, and he and Verna
served churches in Ithaca and Rome, N.Y., for several years. Verna proved to be
the ideal pastor's helpmate, with her warm, friendly manner and generous heart.
Upon Carroll's retirement in 1984, the Maynard family, now including two sons
and three daughters, moved back to Canton. Verna took a position as a secretary
with the law offices of Vineski, Brann and Williams. She also served as
secretary of the East Canton United Methodist Church. Carroll died
in November of 1992. In her spare time Verna was an avid reader, but one might
say that her true hobby was being a people person. Verna loved the company of
family and friends, especially her friends at the Canton Mennonite Church, where
she was famous for her hugs. She kept active in all aspects of church life,
remaining young at heart and devoting her time and energy to the Lord's work for
as long as her health permitted. Verna is survived by: her sons Michael (and
Linda) Maynard of Conklin, N.Y., and Gregory Maynard, at home; daughters Allaire
(and Stephen) Bascomb of Warrenton, Va., and Laurel (and William) Caton of
Keswick, Va.; brother George Merrick of Roseville; sisters Leah Hardin of
