Later, she lovingly lived with and cared for her parents as they grew older, offering them the same devotion and tenderness she gave so freely throughout her life.

Although Velma never married and did not have children of her own, her heart was full of the joy of watching her nieces and nephews grow up. She cherished every moment spent with them and took great pride in being part of their lives. Velma also enjoyed dancing whenever she had the chance and loved spending quiet time watching movies.

She is also lovingly remembered by her nephews, John Sepulveda, Michael Sepulveda, and Gene Grayson. Her nieces, Michaela Grayson, Rachelle Rios, and Jessica Rios, will also carry her memory with love.

Velma was blessed with a large extended family, including 16 great-nieces and great-nephews, each of whom added happiness and meaning to her life.

Velma will be remembered for her gentle heart, her caring nature, and the simple, beautiful way she loved her family. She will be greatly missed and forever held in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
