Vera Mae (Bosler) Ketter, 88, of Blanchard, died Wednesday, December 12, 2012 in Blanchard. She was born August 27, 1924 to Beno Simon Bosler and Carrie Sophie (Moosehaven) Bosler. Vera was raised and went to school in Union City, where she met Emil William Ketter. They were married August 14, 1943 at Camp Phillip (Military Base) in Salina Kansas, before Emil went overseas to serve in the Army in World War II.
She returned to Emil's family home in Okarche to start a family and wait for his return. She worked at taking in ironing, picking cotton, herding cattle and hauling hay. In her younger days, she enjoyed making homemade bread and fried chicken for her family. One of her favorite things over the years was dancing with Emil to Bohemian Music at their favorite hall. Later, she enjoyed gardening at Blanchard Senior Village and she loved the fact they called it "Vera's Garden."
