Vera Meier Obituary

Vera L. Meier

AGE: 92 • Newark

Vera Meier, age 92, went home to be with her Lord on Saturday, July 19, 2014. She died peacefully at home. In addition to seeing the Lord she served, she was also reunited with her hubby, Bud, whom she had missed dearly since he passed two years ago.

Born in Avon-by-the-Sea, she grew up just a few blocks from the beach. She attended Neptune High School and then graduated from what was then Eastern Bible Institute (now Valley Forge Christian College). After getting married to Vernon "Bud" Meier (1922 - 2012), she moved to Newark, DE. She was employed in the Christina School District, first as a secretary in the Guidance Department at Christiana High School and then at the Data Service Center, from which she retired.

Vera loved the Lord and has been a Christian since the age of 5. She has faithfully attended Five Rivers Church in Elkton, MD and was involved in the Prime Timer ministry there. Vera loved her family and was happiest when she was with them. Family gatherings were a highlight, especially at Christmas time, and her joyful spirit was contagious. She was very proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and supported them in their varied activities. Vera loved the beach and the annual family vacation in Rehoboth.

She will be dearly missed by her children: Ron Meier (Robin) from Littleton, Colorado; Dave Meier (Lisa) from Smyrna, Tennessee; Joyce Morgan (Gary) from Rising Sun, Maryland; and Joan Thorp (Wade) from Bear, Delaware; grandchildren: Rachel (Stephen), Hannah, Joel, Annie, Jeff, Jeremy, Jill (Stephen), Jordan, Lauren (Christopher), Todd, and Ross; and two great grandchildren, Marcelo Ridgley, and Jasen Meier.

The celebration service will be held at 5:00 PM on Sunday, July 27th at Five Rivers Church, 290 Whitehall Road, Elkton, MD. The family will receive friends from 3:30-5:00 PM. The interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to The Missions Department at Five Rivers Church. The family would like to thank Comfort Keepers for the excellent care they provided these past few years. For directions or to leave an online condolence, please visit www.strano-feeley.com
