There was an 80th birthday party scheduled for Velma on March 5, at the Center Hill Baptist Church in Linden. Having died just a few days prior she decided to celebrate a bit earlier in heaven.
Velma had a passion for buying and restoring old homes to resell. It was hard to keep up with her current address because she usually moved after each completion. Linden, Marshall, and Atlanta, Texas are better towns for her improvements. Another passion of hers was antiques. She knew the year and history of furniture and glassware. Genealogy was also a favorite pass time for her. She researched the Foster genealogy long before it became a favorite hobby to others. Because of her she has shared all of her research and gave copies of her data for my continued research with the Foster families. Aunt Velma was loving, caring, and fun. You were always welcome in her home and she was always wanting to give you a tour of her latest creation. A note to this, her son David helped with the reconstruction of these homes. Aunt Velma will be greatly missed.
