Vera Hersey

Passed in: Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada
Passed on: May 19th, 2015

HERSEY, Vera Frances – age 93, passed peacefully at the Yarmouth Regional Hospital on May 19, 2015 with Skip and Vikki by her side. Vera enjoyed doing needle point or fancy work as she called it. She loved car rides and going to get apples for pies and apple sauce. Vera also loved to go for walks. She always had a clothes line full of clothes and was always cleaning something until she just couldn’t anymore. Vera worked at the Cotton Mill for 50 years; she walked to and from work every day and never took a sick day. She was given an air clock when she retired which she was very proud of. Vera also worked weekends at the Vanguard sorting flyers. Vera had no children of her own but was like a mother to "Skipper" as she called him. Surviving relatives are her sister, Alice Orth; nieces, Darlene Brooks; Cindy Webster (Greg), Ontario; nephews, George “Skipper” Hersey (Debby), Yarmouth; Derek Burrill and family, North Carolina; great niece, Charlene (Murray); great nephews, Steven and Nathan; and great great-nieces, Jordan and Taylor. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Sweeny’s Funeral Home and Crematorium, Yarmouth. There will be a graveside service on Saturday, July 4, 2015 at 11 a.m. in Brooklyn Cemetery. Donations in memory may be made to the Salvation Army. We would like to thank Vikki Pothier, the nurses on fourth floor, her Doctor and all the home care workers. Also any and all who have been there to help along the way. You are all greatly appreciated. On-line condolences may be sent to: sweenysfh@eastlink.ca or you may sign the guestbook on-line at: www.sweenysfuneralhome.net.
