Vera Rosie Palomares

On Wednesday, December 22, 2021, surrounded by her daughters, our Heavenly Father embraced Vera to her heavenly home. Age 84 years.

Vera was born on June 12, 1937, daughter of the late Maurice and Frances (Cruz) Murillo, in Havana, Minnesota.
She enjoyed life to the fullest and loved her family. Vera enjoyed playing BINGO and frequent trips to the casino with her sister Irene. Her passion was teaching her family how to cook and dance. She loved Mexican music! Vera was known for her famous tamales, which so many enjoyed. She liked to sit on her porch, was very well known and loved in her community. She was Grams to everyone.
