❤️ Remembering Madonna Verrips-Feyerabend ❤️
‘Mom’ was one of a kind. In her younger years, she helped build the customer base and relationships that became such an important part of our taxidermy business. She put her heart into everything she did, and I’m proud of the role she played in helping build what we have today.
She had a lifelong love for the outdoors, hunting, and fishing. Those passions stayed with her right up until the day she passed, and I know the outdoors will always be a special part of how we all remember her. A true steward of the land and its resources.
Mom was also a winter Texan, and many people lovingly knew her as the “Pie Lady.” She made the most wonderful pies, sharing them generously and bringing joy to everyone who had the pleasure of tasting them. Her pies were just one more way she showed her love and brought people together.
More than anything, she was a hardworking woman who loved her family and left her mark on so many people along the way. We’re grateful for the memories we shared, the people she brought into our lives, and the legacy she leaves behind.
In lieu of flowers, we know Mom would love for you to consider making a donation to the Susan G. Komen Foundation in her honor & memory. As a breast cancer survivor, she cared deeply about helping others survive and navigate challenging life events, including breast cancer.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of Mom’s journey and for all the love and kindness shown to our family. She will forever be loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten.
Rest easy, Mom. Until we meet again. 🤍🎣🦌
