Lois Mae Vera

Lois was always a very strong independent woman and a bit of a smart aleck. Even towards the end she would give nurses answers like “I’m still here” when they would come take her blood pressure. That was our mom.

Our parents lived in Metairie until our father’s retirement and then moved to their home in Tylertown, MS. where for many years enjoyed weekend card games and dinners with old friends. Mass on Sundays followed by potluck dinners. Summers spent at the beach with family and friends.

Lois is preceded in death by her parents Stephen Arnoult, Anna Mae Stelz; stepfather, Harold Stelz; husband, Marcel “Mike” Vera; and daughter, Karen A. Vera.

She is survived by her brother Steven Arnoult; and her children and grandchildren, Cheryl (Sam Harvey), Michael (Kim), Gloria, Austin, and Kayla (Barley).

Family and Friends are welcome to attend a Memorial Mass will be celebrated at St. Clement of Rome, 4317 Richland Ave., Metairie, LA on Tuesday, July 7, 2026 at 11:00 am. Visitation will be held at the church from 10:00 am until 11:00 am. Following the Memorial Mass, Lois will be laid to rest alongside her husband and daughter at Lake Lawn Park Mausoleum, 5454 Pontchartrain Blvd., New Orleans, LA.
