Verna Irene Anderson was born in Oakes, N.D. on July 19, 1942 to Allwin and Millie (Cink) Anderson. She was raised on a farm near Stirum, N.D. and graduated from Gwinner Public School. Verna graduated with a teaching degree in 1962 from Valley City State Teachers College. She was united in marriage to Dean Anderson on August 25, 1962 and they made their home in Gwinner. She taught school for two years in Oakes, N.D. then at North Sargent Public School in Gwinner. She raised their two sons Jeff and Doug before returning to North Sargent School as the School Secretary. Verna devoted 25 years of service to the school's students, staff and the community until her retirement in 2004. She spent many years helping organize the El Zagal Vikings Circus ad sales and running the charitable gaming operation. She took great pride in her attention to detail and beating the table dealing blackjack. She was involved in her community, serving on the Women of Gwinner and Stirum, G.A.
