Vera Braden joined her husband, Lawrence in Heaven on Nov. 17, 2015. She was born on Mar. 24, 1938. Vera fought a long, hard battle with kidney and heart disease and dementia. She struggled against her illnesses with courage, humor and good old fashioned bull-headedness. Vera is survived by Sharon Braden; Susan Braden-Dominguez and Henry Dominguez; grandchildren Andrew and Aleasha Dominguez; and sister Maxine Switzer and brother-in-law Gordon Switzer. In lieu of flowers please make a donation in her memory to St. Vincent DePaul, PO Box 13600, Phoenix, AZ 85002.
