There were few things Mrs. Vera loved more than spending time outdoors, whether it involved tending to her flowers or crocheting. She never traveled far without her crocheting bag, and used it to make blankets and throws. There was nothing she loved more than her family. She would often tell stories of her family in Alaska. One of her fond memories included catching salmon cleaning them, and smoking them. All of her family will miss her tremendously, though they take comfort in knowing she is reunited with all who have gone before her.
Serving as pallbearers will be Blake James, Austin Turner, James McLendon, Mason Johnson, Robbie Davis, and Blake Chesser.
