She was a member of Beans Fork Baptist Church. She was strong in the faith.
Velma was a decent person; a gentle soul. Someone who liked people and liked being part of the world around her. Someone who remembered everything and everyone. She never forgot a single name-not once. Every precious memory of her is cherished by her family.
