Vel attended Bethany Bible Institute, Hepburn, Sask. After Vel and Ron’s move to Calgary, she was self-employed, and then worked 11 years at Castle Toys, a position she very much enjoyed. Vel spent much of her last 3 years in hospital, facing her illness with strength, courage, and peace, maintaining her sense of humour and interest in the lives of others. Her greatest joy in life was her family.
