It is with sadness we announce the passing of Vera Lilian Rita Miles, 95 years of Springhill. Vera passed on Tuesday, November 29 at High Crest Nursing Home.

Born in Dartford, Kent, England, she was a daughter of the late Charles and Lilian (Titcombe) Barden. 

Vera grew up in England and as a young teenager, she experienced The Blitz of London and survived World War II. She met the love of her life David and married in 1949. Having grown up through the war, Vera's life long motto became "waste not, want not".

She lived in various places across England where all 3 of her daughters were born. In 1976 Vera, David and youngest daughter Pippa immigrated to Springhill, Canada where they made it their home. They were welcomed into Springhill with open arms.

Vera and David both devoted their lives to God and to helping others. Vera was a loving care giver to her husband right up until his passing. She was always very grateful for everything she had. She loved spending time at the cottage but above all else she loved her family.

Vera will be dearly missed by her children, Jillian (Marcus) Colchester of Chadlington, England; Alison (Liam) McFaul of Rathlin Island, Northern Ireland and Pippa (Scott) McNutt, Springhill; grandchildren Thomas (Erin) McNutt, Jessica (Joey) Feith, Kito (Bella) Colchester and Merry Colchester (Sophie); great-grandchildren Mette, Everett, Caleb, Hannah, Ollie and Owen; as well as several nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband A. David Miles in 2002; an infant son, Peter and brother Eric.

Arrangements are under the care and direction of A. H. Brown Funeral Home, 5 McFarlane Street, Springhill, (902 597 2361) where a funeral service will take place Saturday, December 3rd, 2022 at 2pm.

Donations in Vera's memory may be made to the All Saints Hospital Auxiliary or charity of choice.
