She was raised in Hot Springs most of her life, but lived a short time in Albuquerque, NM & Little Rock, AR where she graduated high school. Velva Jean was a devoted pastor's wife, mother & grandmother. She was loved in all of the churches where they pastored. God gave her a passion for children whom she worked with throughout their years in ministry.
