Velma was born in Georgetown, Texas on December 8, 1931. She was one of eight children born to Floyd Lee and Pauline Montgomery Williams. She was married to Arthur Lee Parker on March 27, 1947. They were married 47 years.

She is also survived by her 5 sons, Douglas Ray Parker and wife, Mary Ann, James David Parker, Billy Bob Parker and wife, Linda, William Glenn Parker and wife, Vicky, and Michael Wayne Parker and wife, Melinda, as well as 13 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren.

Velma worked as a nurse’s aide at Montgomery County Hospital and as a medical assistant to Dr. Wayne McAfee in Conroe for several years. She enjoyed painting, doing extensive Bible study, and spending time with family and friends. She was also very instrumental in an extensive amount of missionary travels, preaching and teaching throughout Mexico, Haiti, and Honduras and the United States. She was also instrumental in the financing of building schools and churches throughout Central America and Mexico, and providing food and clothing as well. She will surely be missed by many.
