Just had an e mail that Vera died at 10.30 last night ! It says :-

This is to let you all know of the death of Vera Johnson who sadly passed
away yesterday, Friday, November the 9th at 10:30 pm.
Condolences can be sent to the family care of her eldest daughter Alison at
a.mackenzie@shaw.ca
The memorial service is expected to be held in Ladysmith on Saturday,
November the 24th, although this is still to be confirmed.
The British Columbia Folklore Society is still in the process of
transcribing the music from Vera's two LPs and compiling a book of her
recorded songs together with CDs of the music.
