  	Long-time area resident, Velora Paternoster went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, January 16, 2010. at the age of 93 years.

As a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, Velora gave her family love, support, and encouragement throughout her lifetime. We are truly blessed to have had such a loving person to set the tone for our families and relationships. Velora's genuine warmth and easy laughter made all who knew her feel welcome and at home. Her life impacted many through her generous friendship, her years as a teacher's aid at Terra Bella School, and through her favorite activity of golf. She had a special place in her heart for dogs and puppies and many will remember her walking Toby at Sierra Hills. We will all greatly miss her gentle, loving presence. A graveside service will be held at Vandalia Cemetery on Saturday, January 23rd at 11:00 AM.
