The Bakersfield Californian 
Vera Louise Hendricks
Aug. 30, 1914-Nov. 22, 2004

Vera Louise Hendricks, a third generation Californian, was born on August 30, 
1914 to J.G. and Martha James on the Old Donavon ranch near Delano, 
California. Vera left this world to be with her Lord and Savior on November 
22, 2004. She was the fourth of eight children born into the James family. Her 
parents and siblings preceded her in death. 

Vera was educated in Delano schools and graduated from Delano High School with 
the Class of 1932 and has maintained a relationship with these classmates ever 
since. Upon graduation from high school she attended Junior College in 
Bakersfield for 3 semesters returning to the Delano area to care for her 
grandmother.

Vera married Claude R. Hendricks, Sr. on October 6, 1940. They recently 
celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary.

She worked as a bookkeeper for several businesses in Delano. She interrupted 
her career to raise two children, returning to the work force in 1955. She 
worked for Montgomery Ward for 16 years, retiring in 1976.

Vera accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior at the age of nine and 
served Him faithfully for 81 years. When poor health made it impossible for 
her to attend church services she remained committed to her Lord by studying 
His word and praying for members of her family, friends and church family.

Her husband, her daughter, Sarah Heinrichs and her husband, Doug, her son, 
Claude R. Hendricks, Jr. and his wife, Murrell, four grandchildren and their 
spouses and six great-grandchildren survive her.

Visitation will be on Sunday, November 28, 2004 from 1-5 p.m. at the Kern 
River Family Mortuary, 1900 North Chester Avenue. A service to celebrate her 
life will be held at the North Heights Baptist Church, 3960 No. Chester Ave. 
on Monday, November 29, 2004, at 11:30 a.m.
