Vera Mae Schwartz, a cherished soul who touched the lives of many, peacefully passed away on August 21, 2023, at 4:30 AM. Her legacy of love and warmth will forever remain in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her.

Born on July 14, 1934, in Flatonia, Texas, Vera Mae was the beloved daughter of Clinie Byrd and Emma Byrd. She was not only a daughter but a beacon of light for her own family, including her two sons, Brent Lee Walden and Michael Ray Walden. Vera Mae's devotion to her family knew no bounds, and her love was the foundation upon which they built their lives.

Vera Mae's spirit lives on through her grandchildren: Chauncey Lee Walden, Misty Leigh Walden, Rachael Lynn Walden, and Ethan Michael Walden. Their lives were enriched by her presence and the unwavering love she bestowed upon them. She also welcomed many great-grandchildren and even a great-great-grandchild into her loving embrace.

Affectionately known as "Momma Vera" by her cherished grandchildren, she had a unique gift for making every holiday a special occasion and her legendary chocolate chip cookies brought smiles that will never fade. Her ability to create joy and comfort was unparalleled, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to share in these moments.
