Vera was born on October 17, 1942 in Waseca to Fritz and Hattie (Gahler) Guse. She was baptized as an infant on November 8, 1942, and later confirmed in her faith as a youth on March 25, 1956, all at Trinity Lutheran Church in Janesville. Vera attended country school in rural Janesville through 6th grade and then attended Trinity Lutheran School before graduating from the Southern School of Agriculture in Waseca with the class of 1960.
Vera met her sweetheart, Marvin Stolt, and they were united in marriage on October 29, 1960, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Courtland. This marriage was blessed with five children: Brenda, Brian, Allen, Bradley, and Barbara. Vera and Marvin resided in Janesville. They later purchased a farm in Sedan, Minnesota, and built their retirement home on Lake Addie, near Brownton, Minnesota. Vera and Marvin shared 55 years of marriage before Marvin passed away on February 29, 2016.
Vera worked at the Janesville State Bank for several years and drove school bus. She continued to drive school bus while living in Sedan. Vera was known far and wide for her cakes, and she found her "secret frosting ingredient" while managing the bakery at Toms Food Pride in Glenwood. In her later years, she worked as a waitress at the Hutch Caf in Hutchinson. Vera was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Janesville. She LOVED tending to her flower gardens. She enjoyed sewing, crocheting and making jam. Veras greatest joy in life was her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Veras family fondly remembers her as a hard worker, the glue that held everything together, and her selflessness (always looking out for others before herself). Vera will be greatly missed.
