Vernone Mae Muehring was born May 15, 1932 to Louis and O’Tillia (Schmidt) Muehring in South Haven. She graduated from Kimball High School. She was united in marriage to Wilbert Wylie on May 9th, 1953 at the Fair Haven Lutheran Church. After marriage Wilbert and Vernone farmed together early on, starting their family near Kimball, MN. Vernone was a housewife and mother while the family relocated several times. They returned to the country in the early 60’s to Cokato and then Gibbon, MN. Then after retirement, they bought Vernone’s childhood home near Fair Haven and lived there until their second retirement. They finished their years together in the country by Lake Carnelian. Vernone moved to New Ulm in the early 90’s and has lived there until becoming a resident at the Sleepy Eye Care Center. Vernone enjoyed gardening, fishing and sewing but above all else she loved to spend time with her family especially her grandchildren. Vernone will be dearly missed by those who knew her. Blessed be her memory.
