Elizabeth Joan “Jody” Veader passed away peacefully Thursday, May 7, 2015, in Berlin, Md., surrounded by her family. She was born Jan. 9, 1927, in St. Louis, Mo., to Elwyn Charles Comstock and Mary Louise Bennett Comstock.

Jody was predeceased by her husband of 62 years, Jack Veader; and her brother, Larry Comstock.
Jody lived a long and very active life, filled with family, friends, art and travel. She and Jack raised their four children in Baltimore and then built their house in Ocean Pines, where they lived for over 30 years, opening their home and hearts to loved ones from near and far.
Jody will be remembered for the amazing energy she brought to everything, her determination to live her life the way she wanted, her wonderful giving spirit, her passion for the arts, and her banana bread! Her wealth was measured in the people who loved her, the influence of her art and her love of life.
