Passionate about gardening and the outdoor life, she shared a love of fishing with her husband, Walter. Vera took every opportunity to be outdoors including cooking for Alpine Club of Canada and hunting camps. She was always an active member of Edgewater, volunteering in various organizations.

She is survived by siblings Elaine, Phyllis and Gordon; her children Phyllis, Barbara, Wayne and Sylvia; as well as grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews and a host of good friends.

Not dead to us who loved her

Not lost, but gone before

She lives with us in memory

And will live forevermore.
