Browning

Vera Mae Browning, 89, passed away on Friday, June 25, 2021.  The daughter of Theodore Roosevelt and Jettie Mae (Barnes) Johnson, Vera was born on December 6, 1931, in Tupelo, Oklahoma.

Vera was a godly, Christian woman of faith, who made her family a priority. She was the mom to 4 kids that were all born in a 4 year span, so she was a busy mom most of the time.   She was a homemaker and wonderful cook making the most delicious lemon and chocolate pies, which will be greatly missed.  She was also known for her and Ray's fish fries that she would have at family reunions and almost anytime someone would request it at their house.  She enjoyed fishing and spending time at the lake. Education was especially important to Vera; she substituted in the Dibble school system in every grade.  Most of all, she loved her kids and grandkids.

Vera is survived by her 3 children, Mike Browning and wife Sharon, Glenda Ashford and husband Dale, and Teresa Anderson and husband Bob; 12 grandchildren, Amy, Raylena, Heather, Cindy, Caresa, Chancey, Wade, Destini, Ty, Shawna, Amanda, and Lowell; 11 great grandchildren and 1 on the way; 5 great, great grandchildren and 3 on the way; brother, Desmond Johnson and Etta Fern Shelton; sister, Elizabeth Foley and husband Kenny; and a host of nieces, nephews, and other loving family members.  She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 64 years Ray V. Browning; one daughter, Direnda Landcaster; one granddaughter, Rebecca Browning; and siblings, Kenneth Johnson, Evelena Teel, Loretta "Tootsie" Rowe, and Edith Rose.
