Vera was born in 1932 in Los Angeles, CA to Laird and Mary Saar.
She moved to the San Francisco area when she was eight and she truly left her heart in San Francisco, where she made many great friends and spent time with her beloved grandmother, Nanny. At around fourteen, she moved to Yakima where she met the love of her life, Kenny Jameson at church. Just a year into her marriage, she moved to the Alaska territory to join her husband, who was stationed there during his service with the US Army. She always considered this one of her great adventures, enduring the cold and other hardships, but making a home there nevertheless. She became pregnant while still in Alaska, returning to Yakima to give birth to her first child.
Vera made lifelong friends wherever she went and cherished the time and laughter spent with all of them. She loved gardening, growing her own food and tending to her roses. Vera loved spending time at her favorite beach on the Oregon coast with her family. It was her greatest pride that all of her six children have always been, and still are close friends.
We love you Mom!
