Velma moved to Columbus in late 1951 from Logan, West Virginia. She attended and graduated from Fornof-Mound Street Junior High and Central High Schools.

Velma loves the south side and would love to see it develop, especially with quality merchants. In her free time, she attends services at Heritage Freewill Baptist Church, works with the Scioto Southland Civic Association or is at home playing euchre. Velma has a large family, including four children, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Velma is thankful to see all the generations of her family, and offers this advice: “Don’t be afraid of age – life is beautiful in all its different stages.”
