In loving Memory
My mother, Velda Mae Kolhs, was born January 31, 1929 to Juanita and Reinhart Edward (Sonny) Kolhs. Passed over Dcember 25, 2015. She was daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
My mother had an infectious laugh that captured us all. In
her presence she was filled with joy and curiosity to know all about your day
or recent adventures, as if nothing else mattered. She wanted to know all that
could be found out about you, and made each child, grand child and great grand
child feel special in their very own precious way. Velda is treasured by each one of her loved ones and will
always be admired for her warm heart and deep insight into each soul she came
into contact with, if only for a short time. She was never afraid to speak her
mind, and would not hesitate to let you know what was on her heart.
Velda
is survived by her loving husband Bob, of 68 years, their two sons Ed and
Robert, and their daughter, Connie, as well as nine grand children and fifteen
great grand children. Two daughters Diana and Barbie passed before her, in 1995
and 2000 respectively.
Velda has many loving cousins, nieces and nephews from
her hometown of Fruita, Colorado. The Washington and Colorado families were
reunited the summer of 2013. The visit from her Colorado family brought her
immense joy and she was filled with gratitude for their visit. She glowed with
pride when sharing her joy that all of the grand children and great
grandchildren visited her and Bob this past summer of 2015. Velda made friends
with each one she came into contact with, through her cheerfulness and
curiosity, intent on never forgetting a name of anyone she met. She is deeply
loved and will be forever remembered by all of her family for her ever-present
loving heart and warm touch.
