Martha is also survived by her brother John Marozoff, as well as many nieces and nephews.

Martha was born to John and Helen Marozoff in Wadena, SK. She married Alex Vereschagin of Grand Forks in October 1959. They resided in Grand Forks where they had their 2 daughters, Debbie and Terry. They later moved to Penticton, before moving to Kamloops which became home. Mom’s greatest joys were the closesness of her family, and one of her greatest pleasures was the company of her grandchildren.

Mom loved the outdoors, swimming, gardening, and was proud to teach her girls her gift of crocheting, and loved shopping with her girls. Mom was a strong willed, feisty, witty lady that fought hard for everything she believed in. She never gave up. She will be dearly missed by all her family.

Debbie and Terry wish to extend a special thank you to Dr. Karen Humphries, and Dr. Gabra for you extra care, compassion, and love, as well as to the staff at RIH, Dr. Howie, and the special team at Ponderosa who she loved.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Martha’s memory may be made to the Canadian Lung Association.
