Vera (Simmons) Basnight

With tender hands of compassion and genuine hearts of love, the Hortons Funeral Home and Cremations Staff and Family joins with the devoted loved ones of Mrs. Vera Simmons Basnight affectionately known as “Ma V” as they prepare to say “until we meet again."  Mrs. Basnight was greeted by her Lord Savior Jesus Christ along with others among the Heavenly Host as she quietly left Vidant Medical Center in Greenvile ,NC. 

Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday at Haven Creek Missionary Baptist Church in Manteo,NC commencing at 2pm. Following the services in the sanctuary, Mrs. Basnight’s remains and family will be escorted to the church Cemetery for Interment Rites. Those that knew “Ma V” knew she dedicated her life taking care of others. Now there is a vital link forever missing in her family’s chain. The silver lining in this great loss is realizing that she finally met the "Man" she has read about for many years in the sixty-six books of the Holy Bible and she is strolling the Gold paved streets of Glory, never to Labor in this fitful world anymore.

Guests are being received at the residence located at 110 North California Lane Manteo, NC where they will also assemble in preparation for the Prestigious Horton’s Ebony Motorcade.

The Compassionate Professionals of Hortons Funeral Homes and Cremations is serving the Basnight and connected families with uncompromising dignity.
