Notes:

MILLER, Vera It is with sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the loss of our wife, mother and grandmother, Vera Ellen Miller (nee Cressman) in her 81st year, peacefully, on Friday, July 22, 2011. Vera will be greatly missed by her husband and best friend Mike Miller. They stood side by side with over 52 years of happiness, raising their family and living their life. Predeceased by her brothers Lester Cressman and Irvin Cressman. Vera was born in East Zorra Township on August 25, 1930. Vera is also survived by her children, Michael and his wife Nancy of London, Ross and his wife Krysta of Waterloo, Carol Ann and her husband Philip Jefkins of Wellesley and John and his good friend Linda Walsh of Waterloo. Vera's legacy will continue in her nine grandchildren, Scott, Brent, Joey, Brooke, Alicia, Michael, Samantha, Erica and Ben. We love you Grandma M. Never at a loss for words, always quick to give directions, Vera's life was simple, full and always entertaining. Her every action was selfless as she was more concerned with the well-being of others more than herself. Vera devoted much of her time and energy to her family. As the kids grew up her need to see to others found her taking on the role as a school crossing guard and a Red Cross homemaker. Still wanting to do more, Vera spent countless hours with the Twin City Spinners, gaining the nickname, "Ma Spinner." She was inducted into the Spinners Hall of Fame in 2009. She also enjoyed socializing and playing cards at the Breithaupt Centre. Vera was a devoted member TOPS, and proudly attained the title of KOP! Vera's family will receive relatives and friends on Tuesday, July 26th from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. and on Wednesday from 10-10:45 a.m. at the Henry Walser Funeral Home , 507 Frederick St., Kitchener, 519-749- 8467. A funeral service will be in the chapel of the funeral home on Wednesday, July 27, 2011 at 11 a.m. Cremation is to follow. Vera's ashes will rest at the Parkview Cemetery, Waterloo. As expressions of sympathy donations to the Twin City Spinners on behalf of Vera would be greatly appreciated (cards available at the funeral home). Visit www.henrywalser.com for Vera's memorial.
