She attended Warsaw High School graduating with the class of 1968.
One evening as Vearl was playing in a country western band in Bremen he met the love of his life Wanda Prater, they would unite in marriage on April 9, 1972 at Trinity United Methodist Church in Plymouth. He preceded her in death on August 3, 2021.
Wanda was a homemaker for most of her life. She was known as a person who was honest to a fault, who would shoot it to you straight, and that was one of her greatest attributes that her children want to carry on. She was also known as a funny and extremely caring woman that had a huge heart and would give her shirt off her back to you.
She enjoyed gardening, painting and remodeling. In fact, she made it a project to redo a different room in her house every year. She often found herself in reading a good book, especially recipes that she would find and try out those meals on her family. Wanda was a wonderful baker and her family enjoyed her cookies.
