Her name is Vereda Kay Williams, and her obituary was in the Santa Cruz (California) Sentinel just last week. She was 51 when she died on January 29.

The obituary said: "She worked for a variety of nationally known food companies helping them in research and development of marketable products. Two of her well-known developments are the first 'chewy' granola bar sold under the Quaker Oats label, and 'Nerds,' the sweet and sour candy."

Nerds were first created and then launched in 1983 when Wonka owned the company. Today Nerds are being made by the Nestle' company who bought the brand in 1988. Did you know that Nerds was also a breakfast cereal?

Probably because Willy Wonka, co. named it "Nerds" so shoppers can notice the candy better.
