Jaeger, Velma "Vel" E., 71 of Clearwater, FL, passed away on Monday, July 2nd. She will be missed by her beloved family and friends. Vel was born to Arthur Graham Hulley and Ruth Armstrong Hulley in Morin Heights, Quebec, Canada. In search of sunshine and less snow the family moved to Pinellas County when Vel was 5 years old. Her mother remarried and Vel was raised by Ruth and Hans Laursen.
Vel married the love of her life, Charles "Chuck" Jaeger II, in 1970, and together they had a beautiful life. Vel was an author, poet, and artist for Fan Scene. She loved Star Trek and was a proud "Trekkie"! Vel was a member of Mensa, and St. Dunstan's Church. Singing in the church choir with her husband, Chuck, was a joy for Vel.
Vel is survived by her husband of 47 years: Chuck II, their children: Charles "Chuck" III (Verena), Gordon (Laura), and Ruth (Stephen), and one granddaughter: Vanessa. Vel is also remembered by her brother: Gary Laursen (Elizabeth), and many beloved nieces, nephews and cousins.
A Celebration of Vel's Life will be held at 11am on Saturday, July 28th at St. Dunstan's Anglican Church in Largo, FL. Vel's family requests that in lieu of flowers donations be made to St. Dunstan's Anglican Church.
