Verna Jauquet, 94, Green Bay resident, died unexpectedly, Wednesday, March 4, 2020, at a local hospital. She was born March 2, 1926, in Rosiere, Wisconsin, to the late John and Emily (Delforge) Maccoux. Verna attended Brussels High School.

She was a charter member of St Bernard Parish and a member of their Altar Rosary Society. In retirement, Verna enjoyed day trips to the casino and rarely turned down a game of Schafkopf.
