BOURBON - Verna K. Biller, 65, of Punta Gorda, Fla., passed away suddenly on July 7, 2007, while visiting friends and family in Indiana.

She was born Oct. 26, 1941, in Plymouth, to Lloyd and Elsie Merrill Pittman. On May 20, 1960, she married William L. Biller, who survives.

Growing up in Lakeville, she and her husband moved to Michigan in 1967, and then lived in New Jersey, North Carolina and Punta Gorda. She was a homemaker. She loved her husband and before he retired they traveled to many places together, including Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Australia, Hawaii and many more. She loved her children and treated her daughter-in-law and son-in-law as if they were her own. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy and loved spoiling them and keeping up to date with the happenings in their lives. She supported their dreams and aspirations. She loved to shop and to spend time talking on the phone with friends and family. She had many friends whom she treated as family and she loved her special family friends, Beverly and Andy Hoffer of Warsaw, and Betty and Dick Baney of Bourbon.

Also surviving are a son, Stephen Lyle (and wife Cindy Dowdy) Biller, Eagle Lake, Fla.; a daughter, Mrs. John Mark (Cheryl Lynn Biller) Wells, Haines City, Fla.; two grandchildren, Zachary William and Kristen Geneva, both of Eagle Lake; a brother, Wayne (and wife Pam) Myers, Plymouth; a stepbrother, Larry (and wife Loa) Myers, Lakeville; seven nieces; a nephew; several grand-nieces and -nephews; two step-nieces; and a step-nephew. She was preceded in death by her stepfather, Glen T. Myers; two brothers, Lyle and Gary Pittman; and a step-sister, Dixie Myers.

There will be no service as she was cremated and her wish was to not have a funeral. A celebration of her life will be held in Punta Gorda at a later date.

Deaton-Clemens Funeral Home, Bourbon, is in charge of arrangements.
