Notes

She took great pleasure in cooking marvelous meals for all of them especially at the holidays at which time she festively decorated her home as well as the homes of others. She enjoyed many hobbies throughout the years such as designing and sewing western shirts, buying and selling antiques, setting up at the flea markets, creating flower arrangements, going to rummage sales, and most of all, gardening. It is an understatement to say she had a green thumb because she could grow anything, anywhere. Throughout the years, Vera created her own beautiful garden and had every flower imaginable, but she especially loved her day lilies of which she had all kinds. One of her proudest moments was when her friend, Jason Delaney from the Missouri Botanical Gardens created a hybrid lily and named it the Vera Denton.

She was truly a remarkable woman who could do anything she set her mind to do. To describe her as a hard-working, strong, independent woman is putting it mildly. She had a heart for Jesus and served him faithfully for many, many years. She was very instrumental in multiple fundraisers held by her church and sold many chicken and noodle dinners made by her own precious hands. Vera was an avid Trump supporter and was deeply patriotic. She is a beautiful soul loved so much by so many and will be deeply missed, however, Heaven is rejoicing and so is her lifelong soulmate as they are now reunited eternally.
