She was also preceded in death by her parents, sister, Verda Dauphin, and her only brother, Lawrence. Velma Marie Pimper, eldest child of Alfred and Lydia (Hohensee) Meeske, was born Nov. 22, 1912, near Daykin. She was baptized and confirmed in St. John's Lutheran Church in Daykin. She graduated in 1930 from Fairbury High School, Fairbury and taught rural schools 102 and 72 in Jefferson County. Velma married Roy W. Pimper of Ohiowa on May 24, 1933, at St. John's Lutheran Church, Daykin, by Rev. Henry Brokering. Their first home was a farm west of Ohiowa. In 1940, they moved to a farm near Pocahontas, Iowa. After living at many locations throughout their married life, they moved to Mount Ayr, Iowa, in January of 1971, where they managed the Clinton Motel for five years. She was a homemaker, and had other employment during her lifetime. Velma and Roy had no children but they made a home for several years for a young niece, Marilyn Meeske, as well as Roy's half sister, Anne, and father, Peter Pimper. Their home was always open to friends and relatives. They moved to Afton, Iowa, in 1986 and lived there for 13 years. Roy and Velma were blessed to spend 66 years together before death claimed Roy on Nov. 14, 1999. Velma moved to Mount Ayr following her husband's death and lived there 10 months. In the fall of 2000, Velma's health began failing and she entered the hospital and then a nursing home in Ames, Iowa. In December 2000, she moved to Lebensraum Assisted Living in Grand Island to be near her niece, Carla Nispel and family. In February 2007, she moved to Wedgewood Care Center in Grand Island until her death. Velma's hobbies were collecting dolls and letter writing. She enjoyed corresponding with a host of friends and relatives. She was a member of the "1912 Limited Club" which consisted of 200 lady members from allover the United States. Velma always had a smile and was a friend to everyone. We were all blessed that Velma was a part of our lives and we will miss her presence very much. We will hold onto her memory forever.
