Vera Ann Morris Jansen, 64, of Hendersonville passed away on Thursday, July 30, 2020 at the Elizabeth House following a brief illness. She was a daughter of the late Sonny and Lillian Sunnie Morris. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Gina; brother, Pete and husband, Lloyd who passed in 1975. She had resided in Henderson County for the past 10+ years after residing in Minnesota in the years prior.

Vera was of the Catholic faith and she loved her son, LJ and grandsons, Logan and Camden so very much. She had a keen ability to make people smile once she walked into a room and lit it up with her presence. Vera was a very generous person and would literally give the shirt off her back for someone in need. She was a fighter and had overcome so many obstacles throughout her life.

She is survived by her son, Lloyd James Jansen of Asheville; sister, Carol “Sissy” Thacker of Hendersonville; brother, Gary Morris of Waynesville; grandsons, Logan and Camden Jansen; friend, Jimmy Bingham or Hendersonville; good friend, Bill Kelly of Osseo Maple Grove, MN and her friend and nurse, Paulette.
