Verlane married her forever sweetheart, David Irl Beecroft, in the Manti Temple, December 27, 1967. They are proud parents of six children, Claire (Ron) Griener, Melanie Winans, Eric David (Sharon) Beecroft, Dana Mark Beecroft (deceased), Charlene Ruth Beecroft, and Gregory Robert (Marti) Beecroft. She also enjoyed sharing life and time with nine grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, 11 granddogs, 35 grandgoats, two grandhorses, and two grandcats.

A family celebration will be held at her new (albeit temporary) home at Eastlawn Cemetery.
