Veda leaves behind three loving adoring daughters and their husbands: Colleen Whittington and husband Mike of Greenville, Ohio, Maureen Vannicola and husband Tony of Beavercreek, Ohio and Kathy Lloyd and husband David of Burleson, Texas; treasured grandchildren Erin Wisecup and husband Bryan, Kathryn Alderson and husband Brian, Brandon Grimm and Ashley French and husband Jason; precious great-grandchildren Reece and Henry, along with so many beloved friends who were blessed to know and laugh with her.
Veda loved being with her family and friends, traveling and shopping. She was a devoted and hard-working volunteer at Wayne Healthcare Center serving as president and vice-president of the volunteer auxiliary for several years. She was known for her savvy business skills as the 27-year manager of the Wayne Healthcare Center gift shop with assistance from husband Dan. She designed and prepared many unique gift items for the shop out of her home, like new baby gift baskets and “get well” candy sundaes, which delivered great delight and comfort to patients. In 2009, the VFW of Greenville recognized Dan and Veda as Citizens of the Year for their combined 50 years of dedicated service to the Wayne Hospital Company.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 A.M. on Friday, July 6, 2012 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Greenville. Burial will follow in St. Mary’s Cemetery in Greenville. The family will receive friends on Thursday, July 5, 2012 from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. at Zechar Bailey Funeral Home in Greenville.

For all those who knew and loved her, a final thought…”What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we loved deeply becomes a part of us.” – Helen Keller
