In accordance with Veta’s wishes, no public services will be held. She will be laid to rest following a private family graveside on Monday, October 26, 2020, at Sherwood Memorial Park, in Salem, Virginia.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to her personal caregivers with Home InStead Senior Care, as well as Good Samaritan Hospice for all of the continuous and compassionate care they provided Veta.
