Velton was a devout Christian who studied the Bible faithfully and served at her church as the children's Sunday school teacher for much of her adult life. To all of her extended family she was a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother.

We know she is now at peace, but she will be truly missed by all those who have had the blessing of knowing her here on this earth.
