Vesta Beery was born December 15, 1943 in Wolf Point, MT to Newell and Margaret (Kaiser) Beery. She lived and grew up on the family farm east of Vida, MT, and attended school in Richey, MT. After graduating from high school, she attended college in Billings, MT. Upon completion, she returned and worked in the Circle Bank until she met and married her husband, David Verschoot.
Dave and Vesta married on February 9, 1964 in Circle, MT. They settled on the farm east of Richey, and had three sons; Todd, Tyler and Tony.
Vesta helped out on the farm as much as she could while raising her sons. She always had a meal on the table, no matter who showed up. No one ever left hungry. Vesta’s buns were infamous. Not only did she make them for her family, but for many social events as well.
Vesta took a lot of pride in her yard. She loved her flowers, trees, and garden. She spent countless hours mowing and watering. But nothing compared to the love she had for her three grandchildren, Cade, Kael, and Maci. She had a very special relationship with them, and they loved her just as much.
Vesta passed away June 17, 2021 at Swedish Medical Center in Englewood, CO.
