Vera Davis of Glenhaven, Calif., passed away on Nov. 19, 2012, at the age of 94.
She leaves behind her beloved family: sons, Bob Bedwell and Bill Bedwell; granddaughter, Linda Whitley; three great-grandchildren; and one great-great grandchild.
Born in Sailor Springs, Illinois to Edward and Fern Robinson, Vera moved around the country, living mostly in Indiana then on to East Oakland before settling in Clearlake Oaks in 1975.
She traveled a great deal as her husband Marshell was a traveling salesman who took her all across the country. In the Bay Area, she worked in several canneries.
She was married to her first husband, Marshell, for 54 years and when he passed away she met and married Al Davis with whom she spent 10 years.
She was a caregiver to both husbands and never complained as she was acting as their nurse.
Vera was always active; she loved to cook and to sew, and at one time co-owned an upholstery business.
She was a member of the Moose Lodge in Clearlake Oaks as well as a member of TOPS.
Her greatest love at the end were her animals – Ty the cat and CJ the dog; they were all the best of buddies.
Vera had a heart of gold and will be remembered fondly by her family and friends.
Services will be private.
Arrangements entrusted to Jones & Lewis Clear Lake Memorial Chapel, Lower Lake, CA, telephone 707-994-6417.
