Vera Prisbrey, 84, passed away peacefully October 20, 2018 in Brookdale Southgate Senior Living Center, St. George, Utah. She was born May 16, 1934 in Aurora, Utah to Philip Ralph Mason and Estella LaVean Shaw. She was the eleventh child of 9 boys and 2 girls. Her parents passed away when she was young so she spent most of her time being raised by her sister, Helena Russell (deceased).

Vera enjoyed spending time with her two best friends, Sally and Beverly until she found the man she knew she was going to marry, Gary Prisbrey of St. George, Utah. They married on November 19, 1955 Salt Lake City, Utah . They sealed their marriage on July 9, 1964 in the St. George LDS Temple.  Their children, Craig and Jill, were adopted a few years later.

Mom worked in the school lunch room cafeteria while raising her children and was honored in the newspaper for so many years of service. She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in various callings.

Vera enjoyed traveling, camping, swimming, bowling, playing cards, collecting arrow heads and bride dolls. She loved her family dearly and wanted to be around them as much as she could. Vera was a loving wife, devoted mother, great-grandmother, caring sister and special friend. She will be greatly missed.

Vera leaves her son, Craig Prisbrey (Kirsten); daughter, Jill Weeks (Lance); grandchildren: Melissa, Justin, Hayden; great-grandchild, Kaylee; and her surviving brother, Ervin (Kathy).

The family would like to thank the staff of Sun Tree and Brookside Southgate for the loving care they provided.
