Vera Galop passed away at home with family by her side holding her hand. Born in Dunmore, PA, she was a long time resident of Duluth. She was preceded in death by her parents, Matthew and Edna (Howell) Chuff, as well as her seven brothers and sisters: Mary Shaw, Evelyn Simpson, Joseph Chuff, Daniel Chuff, Lorraine Klase, Matthew J. Chuff, and Gloria Ann Chuff. With her late husband of over 50 years, Stephen P. Galop, Jr., they raised three children who survive them: Stephen P. Galop III of Johns Creek, Stephanie Daniels of Johns Creek, and Stacey Galop of Cave Creek, AZ. She is also survived by four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Her compassionate and caring nature were attributes in her chosen profession as a critical care nurse, and in her most important role as mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and aunt. She embodied the Will Rogers' quote "A stranger is just a friend I haven't met yet" and encouraged others to adopt that mindset. A woman of strong and unwavering faith she was able to see the good in all of God's children.
A funeral mass will be held on Saturday, November 20, 2021 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Benedict Catholic Church. Bill Head Funeral Homes & Crematory Duluth Chapel (770)476-2535.
