Velma and Mel worked together at the Strand theater through high school.  Velma and Mel enjoyed entertaining family and friends at their home. They celebrated life with so many friends and planned annual trips to the Lake of the Ozarks with a group as large as 30.  As the years passed Velma would often comment on the groups size getting smaller and smaller and often telling Mel “There are only a few couples left”.  Velma enjoyed cooking, baking cookies, bowling, playing cards and visiting with family and friends.  She loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, nephews and nieces and her many friends and loved spending time with them sharing stories.  Velma enjoyed watching the Cardinal baseball games and the football games with Mel and Mel would watch the Bold and the Beautiful because Velma loved that soap.  Velma thought of everyone and was always there for anyone at anytime.

Velma was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
