Vurla was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, she was a past member of: The First Methodist Church, Gainesville Women’s Club and Amorellos Garden Club. She loved flower gardening, walking on the beach, playing bridge, meeting with the Crafts Group and communicating with her host of nieces and nephews, but her first love was her family.
