Vera was a stay at home Mom until she returned to school to obtain the NB Community College home makers course from which she graduated in 1985. She and our Dad worked side by side helping seniors until his death in 1996. Vera was a very kind hearted woman and she opened her heart and home to anyone in need. Our Mom loved to travel, loved her gardens, but most of all loved having her family around her. She was an amazing lady and will be sadly missed. Our family would like to thank all those who have supported us during this time, including the Sussex Extra Mural, Canadian Red Cross, Susan Alward, Dr. Morton and Tina & Terry Rogers of Armstrong’s
