Vada Klaus was a woman beloved by many. She lived most of her life in Flat Prairie, Texas and attended Zion Hill Baptist Church. The church and cemetery sit on land donated by her family, the Bagwells. Vada's childhood home still stands not far from the church, and is over 100 years old.

The sister to 10 others, Vada grew up knowing how to make a simple life great, and how to make a little go a long way.

She married John Tillman Klaus who she loved very dearly, and had three children: John, Joe and David. Her sons married and produced many grandchildren and great-grandchildren for Vada to spoil.

After a few years of living in Houston, the family moved back to Flat Prairie. Vada worked at Groveton Elementary School as a teacher's aid for most of her career and many of the students she worked with remember her fondly.

Vada Klaus was most well known for her legendary smile, warm and kind personality, the job she loved, great cooking, her afternoon Dr Pepper and her fervent devotion to her family and to God. She embodied true Christianity in her every day life, helping others before herself, exhibiting compassion and kindness in all things.

When Vada died, the amount of people who attended her funeral could not all fit in the church. Many stood, some were forced to crowd around the entrance outside straining to hear the pastor speak. People travelled from all over the US, and overseas - as far as Australia - to say goodbye. She will always be missed by those who knew her.

Sons: John Tillman Klaus II, Joe Klaus and David Lynn Klaus(d).
