Velma was a loving and devoted wife and mother, she enjoyed spending time in her kitchen making the most wonderful pies you have ever eaten. She also loved being closely tied to her church and all of the people she met there.
Later in life, after losing Paul, Velma did some traveling. She enjoyed a 7-day cruise with her nieces, traveling along the east coast, leaving Boston and visiting Maine, Nova Scotia and Canada.
Velma will be remembered as a wonderful woman, and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. We ask that you keep her smiling face in your hearts and remember Velma well.
