Sister Vera T. Adams, OP passed away on December 20, 2020.
She was the daughter of Vera Mary Tansley and George Henry Adams of Jenkintown Pennsylvania.
She was predeceased by her parents and her brothers, Robert, Walter, and George, and her sisters, Mary, Helen, and Frances.
In 1947 She entered the Little Sisters of the Poor in Maryland and spent many years in France taking care of the elderly patients in her care.
Feeling a call to a more prayerful life, she left the Little Sisters and entered the Dominican Monastery in Syracuse NY in 1981 where she made her novitiate and was Solemnly professed on March 25, 1988.
She was very dedicated to her daily Rosary Hour of Guard and chanting the Liturgy of the Hours.
Sister Vera was very welcoming and had a listening ear for those who came to the monastery or called on the phone for prayers or who needed some reassuring consolation. She had a twinkle in her eyes and a ready smile for everyone.
Gardening was her special gift and she spent many hours weeding and planting which was a joy for her and for the Sisters who saw the beauty she created.
When the Syracuse Monastery was closed Sister joined the Springfield Monastery. When the time came that she needed skilled care, she and five other Sisters were admitted to the Teresian House on July 12, 2018.
