Vesta Irene (Edwards) Serr was born Wednesday, October 24, 1917 at Butte, Nebraska to George and Anna (Scher) Edwards. On January 16, 1939, Vesta was united in marriage to Allen Serr at Yankton, South Dakota. Vesta was a homemaker and seamstress, and worked at Landmann-Jungman Memorial Hospital until her retirement. Vesta found joy in her involvement at Zion Lutheran Church where she was active in the choir, the church council and ladies’ circles, teaching Sunday School, helping with Vacation Bible School, and making quilts with the Zion ladies. Her interests included her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, sewing embroidering, cooking, shopping and traveling. Vesta became a resident of the Good Samaritan Society of Scotland in September of 2003, and it is there that she passed away on Monday, February 1, 2010, having attained the age of 92 years, 3 months and 7 days.
Vesta is survived by two sons: Francis (Marge) Serr of Yankton and Harvey (Susan) Serr of North Mankato, Minnesota; a daughter, Kathleen (John) Newman of Sacramento, California; two grandsons and three great-grandchildren: Nathan (Mary) Serr and Elizabeth, Joshua and Hannah of Shoreview, Minnesota and James Serr of Sacramento, California; a brother, Norman (Marilyn) Edwards of Gordon, Nebraska; four sisters: Edna (Harold) Amick of Anderson, Indiana, Louise Divitt of Lincoln, Nebraska, Shirley (Ray) Davis of Ainesworth, Nebraska, and Ruby (Darryl) Pinhero of Azle, Texas; and a sister-in-law, Marge Edwards of Ainesworth, Nebraska.
Vesta is preceded in death by her husband, Allen; four sisters: Helen, Leila, Leona and Verna; three brothers: Harold, Clifford and Wayne; and three sisters-in-law.
In lieu of flowers, the family prefers memorials to the Good Samaritan Society of Scotland.
The family will be present to greet visitors from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 3, 2010 at the Goglin Funeral Home in Scotland
