February 27, 1927 ~ June 26, 2021
Vera Louise (Tracy) Brummet, 94, passed from this life at Brookdale Senior Living in Wooster, OH on June 26, 2021.
Born in Helmsburg, IN on February 27, 1927 to Arthur and Verna Tracy, she grew up in Helmsburg and lived all of her adult life in Columbus, IN in the home that she and her husband built together. Vera married Basil Roscoe Brummet on April 9, 1948.
Vera worked at Camp Atterbury in medical records during both WWII and the Korean War. After the birth of their daughter, Shauna, in 1955 Vera was a fulltime homemaker and mother. Vera and Basil, married 72 years, enjoyed their 29 winters in Sarasota, FL where they lived in Park East Club. They were a fixture of the park, participating in the weekly Saturday breakfast get-togethers, programs and events. Visiting Siesta Key Beach with Basil, feeding the seagulls, and traveling around Florida were highlights for the two of them. They enjoyed several cruises in the Caribbean, to Hawaii, and to Alaska in 2000 with their daughter and son-in-law. The next year they all made a wonderful trip to London and Paris.
Vera was a member of the East Columbus United Methodist Church and Fidelis Bible class.
Vera and Basil enjoyed square dancing in Columbus and Sarasota. Vera crocheted lovely afghans, did crosswords, and loved to read biographies. They loved their daughter’s and son-in-law’s Samoyed dogs and alpacas, attending many dog and alpaca shows together. Vera and Basil were known for taking walks holding hands and for helping each other through all of life’s ups and downs. They made many friends everywhere they went.
Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Thursday, July 1, 2021 at Jewell-Rittman Family Funeral Home with Pastor Ann Thomas officiating. Calling will be from 1 p.m. until service time Thursday. Vera will be laid to rest beside her husband Basil at Garland Brook Cemetery.

Lit a candle in memory of Vera Louise Brummet
I met Vera and Basil through my parents – Don and Margaret Linneweber. It was love at first sight. Basil was going off on an Honor Flight. Very impressive without all the other impressive things that came with either of them. Vera was going to be on her own without Basil for one of the first times ever since they had been together. I was home visiting that weekend. There was an extra bedroom. We tried to get Vera to come stay with us, but no. My father passed away shortly after that. We moved my mother to the Sarasota area year round after that. It worked out that my husband and I were back in the Columbus area a few years later. We had to stop by when we drove by and all were out Met Shauna and husband that day. My husband and Basil went off to the basement to rummage around.
My mother passed away on June 30th. So sad to say goodbye to that generation.
Prayers to all the others who loved Basil and Vera!
