She also provided music for weddings, celebrations of life and special events. Vera was an avid reader, accomplished seamstress and deft with needle, yarn and thread. She loved traveling to various parts of the United States of America.
Survivors include her daughter, the Rev. Dr. Terri Rae Chattin, of Randallstown, Maryland. She is preceded in death by her father and mother, and four brothers, Cletus, Lloyd, Clyde and Wilburn Brown.
