I am very sad to report the death of Vera Vaslet on 18 September, a few days before her 99th birthday.
Vera was a faithful member of our worshipping community for many years, attending services regularly until prevented by advancing years. She lived with her brother Charles, who died in 2017, at Little Copse Farm between Heath End and East End. For the past few years she was cared for at the Wessex Lodge care home in Whitchurch.
She was very active in the local community in numerous ways, including as a committee member of the Newbury and District branch of the RSPCA, specifically responsible for the welfare of small animals including dogs and rabbits. Vera was also a member of the East Woodhay WI and took part in the branch’s centenary celebration party on 10 December 2019, at which the photo above was taken.
Vera is greatly missed but the memories of her long and fulfilling life remain.
Her funeral service is taking place at West Berks crematorium on 6th October at 11am.
