Vernell Foyt was passionate about volunteering at SPJST Lodge 88, Houston, and she and her husband, Rudy, shared many “two steps” at the lodge hall before his passing.

Vernell was on the Rules and Regulations Committee, treasurer of the Birthday Club Sisters, bingo volunteer, a member of the Swimming Pool Committee, and chair of the Entertainment Committee. As the head of the Entertainment Committee, Ms. Foyt enjoyed a special relationship with every band that performed at Lodge 88 as well as members of the lodge.
