Vera was one of ten children. She attended William Henry and Caesar Rodney High School. She loved her family dearly. Her and her oldest brother Wayne were very close and her sister Ramona were the tightest, who she called Mont. Vera loved to sing, dance, laugh, watch horror movies and Jerry Springer. She loved to drink her coffee hot or cold. She loved family functions, barbeques were her favorite. Vera knew how to keep everyone laughing and she would give her last to help anyone she could help. Vera could really work with her hands, she was her family Mrs. Fix It.
In 1994 Vera married the late Donald Harris, who she loved dearly in that marriage. She gained 8 step children. Vera loved everyone. She would say some crazy stuff, like "don' be stupid, dummy" and would fall out laughing. Her family loved her and knew her love was pure. She never would bite her tongue; she said what was on her mind and her family respected her for that.
