Vera lived a long and remarkable life filled with faith, family, and devotion. As a child, she moved to Texas with her family in a covered wagon, traveling with their livestock, including two mules, cows, and chickens — a testament to the strength and resilience that defined her life. She was known as a true "Prayer Warrior," a faithful woman who loved the Lord and lifted countless others up in prayer.


She enjoyed playing Bridge and solitaire and especially loved teaching her grandchildren how to play Hand and Foot. She cherished time spent with her family and delighted in playing with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Vera was a generous and giving woman whose love for her family was evident in everything she did.
