POYNETTE-On Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012, our sister in Christ, Vera E. Jaech, joyfully and in peace went home to be with the Lord. Vera was born on June 6, 1916, to Alma and Carl Seamandel on the family homestead in Ironton. She completed primary and secondary school and received a certificate from Wisconsin Teacher’s College allowing her to begin her teaching career in Plum Valley School in Wonewoc Township. On May 25, 1942, Vera married the love of her life, Howard E. Jaech, to whom she was wed for 51 years until he preceded her in death in 1993. Vera spent many years as a professional bookkeeper and credit manager for companies such as Firestone, Hankscraft, and Condon's Jewelers. The joy of Vera’s life was a continuing relationship with Christ and her constant dedication to serving the Lord on a daily basis. She was able to be home with her daughter and family for the last days of her life and died in her daughter’s arms. Vera was known by all to be a good and faithful servant for the Lord and wished to be remembered as a Child of God. Vera is survived by her sons, Dean H. Jaech of Warren, Ohio, and Dale A.
