Straight out of high school Vera worked for Mountain Bell as a switchboard operator downtown
Denver on Champa Street then worked for AT&T as a long-distance operator. She was relocated to
Colorado Springs where she eventually retired. After retirement she worked part time as a
bartender at the Skyline, Sonny's and Papi's. So many friendships came out of working in the
bartending industry. At times she was a psychologist and everything that people confided in her she
kept to herself. She valued her friendships and anyone that came to know her fell in love with her.
She loved to dance, sing and be with her family.

Vera's hobbies were going to Blackhawk, scratch tickets, watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune.
She loved going to bingo. She loved the Greek salad from Lookin' Good, her steak from the
Columbine Steak House, steak tacos from El Toro, her breakfast burritos from Santiago's, carne
deshebrada burrito from Camargo's, her menudo with pig's feet from Las Delicias with a side of
refried beans and a tortilla, shrimp fried rice from the Lotus Kitchen.
