​Vera B. Stoddard, age 90, passed into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior, after a short illness, on Wednesday, July 21,2021, surrounded by her loving family.

Vera had a zest for life, and a zest to shop. It made no difference if it was K-mart or Macy’s, she could move through the stores with the precession of an Olympic Marksman.  She  dressed  in a sense of style and grace, never leaving home not looking her best, and with pearls.

She worked all our Bible Schools and Halloween programs; sang in the choir and enjoyed being a part of  church life when her health was good.

I am so sorry that I will not be able to come to Aunt Vera's funeral. I cannot drive, and my husband Butch, is down with his knee and cannot drive. Just know that I will be thinking of you all...I loved Vera. One of my favorite memories was after she and Johnnie moved over on 12th street, going there at Christmas time and they had the most beautiful artificial SILVER tree with blue/red ornaments on it and lights (so upscale and fancy)....and you could go into their bedroom and on her dresser, was her mirrored tray with over 20 bottles of perfume....I remember being in love with Evening in Paris. Their house was always emaculate and I loved going to visit. I miss Vera and Johnnie both. Good days; good memories. Love to you all; hope to see you in the "not too distant" future. May you find peace in the quiet places. Love, Lana

Thank you for a wonderful tribute. FYI, she still had a mirror tray full of perfume. I'm sorry that so much time has passed since we connected.
