Veda was a beloved daughter, sister, and aunt to our whole family. She was also a dedicated teacher and mentor to children of all ages for the 27 years she taught for the Vanderbilt Public Schools until poor health dictated an early retirement. For a majority of that time she worked with children with special needs from kindergarten through high school. Veda spent many extra hours during her career coaching and mentoring special athletes preparing them for special olympic competition. Her gracious heart led her to foster parenting, tutoring, and volunteering (through church and her teaching sorority). Her love of reading and teaching led her to volunteering for the school library after retirement. Although a quiet person Veda was a person of strong convictions and was willing to work and fight for those convictions in many capacities (member of the school board, union officer and negotiator). Veda was a person with a multitude of interests and dreams. She loved learning new skills and enjoyed crafting and needlework projects as well as scrapbooking and compiling family history. Every family member has received something in their lifetime specifically crafted for them from Veda, whether it be needlework ornaments, mittens, hats, scrapbooks, purses, neck scarves, or jewelry. Each and every gift was crafted and given with love. Another love of Veda’s was traveling and she took every possible opportunity to travel and explore throughout the United States, taking her mom on many of those adventures with her. Veda could find something interesting in even the most mundane of places and never hesitated to share new finds with family and friends. Veda’s desire to explore new horizons started early. While finishing her university work and beginning her career, she decided she would like to teach in Alaska and started preparing by taking flying lessons that would allow her to fly into some of the remote areas she had looked into for jobs. That dream never came to fruition, but it did not stop her from touching the lives of many children in a most positive and encouraging way. Veda leaves behind a strong legacy to those who knew and were cherished by her. She never let fear of the unknown hold her back or defeat her. Her strong faith and indomitable spirit are her legacy.
