Throughout the years she got to be in many movies and enjoyed meeting some famous celebrities along the way. She loved belonging to Experimental Aircraft where she met some inspirational members. Vera loved to travel and was warmed by meeting and talking with some orphans in Egypt. She took a trip to Turkey and went back for another because she found the people so fascinating and warm hearted. She was a wonderful cook and homemaker in her younger years. She was a very affectionate Mother to her three children; Carolyn, Gary (Carla) and youngest son Lorne who left early to be in heaven in 2005.

Although we will dearly miss her, her heart is with us forever and until we meet again. The family will have a private service. Her burial is at Woodland.
