Vera M. Cole, 101, of Oxford, died Wednesday, Dec. 16, at The Ware Presbyterian Village. She was preceded in death by her parents Ray P. and Mabel Roth Reese, her husband of 52 years Ray D. Cole, and her son Jay Dennis Cole.
As a homemaker, Vera was able to be a cub scout leader, a piano teacher for more than 50 years, a past president of the Federated Women’s Club of Chester County, and an active participant and organist at the Avondale Methodist Church for over fifty-five years.

Vera loved music, was always involved in a craft project, loved baking cookies particularly with her granddaughters, enjoyed decorating for holidays, and spent many days shopping in her home county of Lancaster.
The family would like to thank the staff and nurses at Ware Presbyterian Village and Willow Tree Hospice for their care of and concern for Vera.
Vera is survived by her daughter-in-law Norma J. Cole, two granddaughters, Lisa (Christopher) Weaver and Cheryl (Frederick) Nelson, and four great-grandchildren, Alec and Grace Weaver and Benjamin and Logan Nelson.
There will be a private graveside service at The Conestoga Memorial Park, Lancaster, on Wednesday, Dec. 23.
