A native of Hahnville, a lifelong resident of Metairie and then Covington,Vera was exceptional in every way. She loved her life and lived it to the fullest. She was a loving wife, mom, sister, and friend, was kind, selfless, caring, and most of all loved Jesus. Her love was infectious to all. She was a member to St. Anslem Catholic Church in Madisonville and an avid Saints and LSU fan. Her true passion was spending time with her family and friends, and watching football and baseball games. She will be deeply missed by all who loved her.
