Publish in a newspaper
Vera Belle Baum, 93 of Ashland passed away, Saturday morning, December 10, 2022; less than 48 hours after the love of her life, Paul Richard "Dick" Baum left this earth.
She was born on July 2, 1929 in Wooster the daughter of the late Floyd and Myrtle (nee Hershey) Yarman.
Vera grew up learning the family business at Yarman Brothers Cheese House.
She married the man of her dreams who would be by her side for 73 years, Paul Richard Baum on December 4, 1949.
Vera devoted her life to her husband and family. While Dick ran the store, Vera ran the house. She created a wonderful home and childhood for her husband and children. In her spare time, she lent a hand at Grandpa's Cheese Barn where she quickly became known as "Grandma".
Vera was a member of First Christian Church for 70 years where sang in the choir. Throughout her lifetime she enjoyed bible study, volunteering at the hospital, bowling, golfing and of course playing pinochle. Her love language was shown most of all in hosting family dinners. Everyone at Sweeties will remember Grandma rolling Buckeyes till the ripe age of 86.
