Vee was a member of the Mill Creek Church of the Brethren. Not only a seamstress, farmer, church custodian (for over 35 years), and a full-time mother to five children, she was also a wonderful country cook. Best known for her fried pies which always vanished quickly at Horne Reunions and "those" sugar cookies. She had two silver cake lids that always sat on the end of the table. Under one you would always find a fresh baked cake of cornbread and biscuits, under the other, there was either a cake, an applesauce pie or stickies . . . always something sweet! Vee was also noted for her jams, jellies, citron preserves, and sweet pickles. Her recipes were published in 1977 in the book, "Vee's Vittles".
A seamstress who did beautiful work, Vee learned the craft of sewing at a young age. During WW II, she worked as a seamstress for Adams Mills and also worked for many years with her sister, Erselle, in her drapery shop. She made most of her children's clothes and sewed some for the public as well. Vee was also a quilter and rendered some beautiful keepsake quilts which are treasured by her family.
Vee started writing poetry and verse in her teens. She filled notebooks with her view of life, nature and God. She wrote beautiful verse, which were compiled and published in the 1994 book, "Vee's Verse".
She had a wonderful sense of humor, always finding a reason to laugh or make those around her laugh. She was always keen to tell a funny story on herself. She was a learned woman who quoted scripture and verse. She was a loving, caring, and giving mother. Her talents and sense of humor touched the hearts and lives of all who knew her, leaving her mark forever.
