Born in Passaic, NJ on November 18, 1962, Vera was a resident of Canoga Park, CA in her youth, graduating from Cleveland High School (Reseda, CA) in 1980. Most of her adult life, she was a resident in Riverside County, CA, and was employed as an Office Manager at Casa Bella Escrow Services in Temecula.
Vera was a loving and devoted mother of two sons, Cody and Connor. She dedicated her life to seeing them succeed and accomplish their goals. She spent many hours volunteering for their activities, and she loved every second of it. Friends and family will remember her fun-loving spirit, infectious laugh, and beautiful smile.
Vera is survived by her 2 sons, her mother Luba Geeza, her sister Luba (Gregory) Csernica, sister Nadia (Timothy) Hector, brother Mark (Sheri) Geeza, an aunt, numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins, and her former husband, Robert Hellman. She was predeceased by her father, Eugene Geeza. We would also like to express our gratitude towards all Vera’s friends and neighbors that were there for her before and during her brief illness.
