Dear sister of Miloslav Beneš of Prague, Czech Republic. She is predeceased by her husband, Jiri “George” Bohac and later Ernst Rohrbach.  Vera lived a full life, coming to Canada with Jiri and daughters, to settle in Guelph, Ontario, before moving to Lethbridge, Alberta, and working at the Animal Diseases Research Institute (West) in the Old Man River bottom. She and George returned to Guelph in 1986 where she continued to work for the federal laboratory. Vera spent her working career as a laboratory technician, in veterinary diagnostics.

Vera was well known for her amazing culinary delights, and for her love of music and dancing. She volunteered for the Lethbridge Symphony Ladies’ Auxiliary.  She loved   painting in watercolours, and gardening. Her personality filled the room wherever she went. She was adventurous and active until the pandemic. She will be dearly missed.
