Vera was a remarkable woman, devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother and a friend to everyone she met. Most of all she was a devout Christian. She loved the Lord and wanted to share Jesus with anyone that crossed her path in life. She was a wonderful cook. She loved to joke and laugh. She was crafty and could make something out of anything. She loved family with her whole heart. She has left behind a legacy and many memories they will never forget. She will be deeply missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.
