Velma was born on March 11, 1942 in Abbeville, LA. Velma was a loving wife and mother who demonstrated unselfish assistance and support in making her family and friends better through her actions and prayers. She raised five sons to be kind, compassionate, religious and productive members of their communities. As her sons matured, they appreciated her tutoring and unrelenting motivation to always get better. She spent many years as a Catechism teacher enriching the lives of many young people in our community. Velma touched countless lives as she served as a dedicated postal worker for 20+ years and enjoyed helping others in all the small ways that matter and impact people’s lives. Velma’s selfless service spirit will live on in all our hearts she impacted and leaves behind to carry on her spirit!

“To live in the hearts we leave behind, is to not die!”
