Vera Lea Hickenlooper

Aunt Vera was awesome! We used to say she would outlive us all. So selfless, caring, loving and sharp. She remembered things I certainly didn't remember doing - except for the water skiing 'flip' (you know, Gary)! She was a huge part of our lives and will be missed dearly. Knowing you are with the Lord. Love you so very much, Julie & John

Aunt Vera will always be in my heart. She was a kind, resilient, fun and an ever-present part of my childhood when my family, Aunt Vera, and Uncle Don did frequent outings and camping trips. As well as getting together throughout adulthood. So many memories:
•At Lake Louise when their tent collapsed in the middle of the night and Uncle Don and Dad were scrambling to get it back up while Aunt Vera “commented” wide-eyed about the possibility of bears.
•At Spirit Lake long before...

I have countless memories of Aunt Vera that I will hold in my heart forever. She was always a part of my life both for celebrations and in sad and difficult times.

She also knew that Jesus is a real person. I also have great memories of going to Hammett in the summers, seeing Don and Vera there as well, visiting great grandpa Charlie, Uncle Keith and Aunt Ruth. I learned how to fish for trout in creeks and find asparagus by the irrigation ditches on those trips. Good...

04. 04. 2021. I adored Aunt Vera. Some of my fondest memories of her and our family was our annual Christmas Eve family celebration. It was always a fun celebration.Aunt Vera always had the prettiest powdered tree. I enjoyed sleepovers there as a kid because she made an excellent meatloaf and tater tot casserole. Aunt Vera has a quiet dignity and elegance. I am sorry to hear of her passing...love you Aunt Vera, Kim Phillips Grant, niece.

Mom,
I miss you. God blessed me with 65 years of your love and I am thankful for that. I hope to see you again soon!

Your son,
Gary

15 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you — unless you believed in vain.

3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also...
