OBITUARY: 
Velma May Kuenzi, 73, of Silverton, died Saturday, April 16, 2005.
Velma, the first born of Tillie and Roland Kuenzi, was born at the rural family home in the Silverton area Dec. 2, 1932. Velma attended the one-room schoolhouse, Willard School, for eight years. Others recall her speed at picking green beans, hazelnuts and strawberries. She served as housekeeper and nanny for a local farm family for a number of years. Velma had a deep love for her many relatives, and she had an amazing memory for special events such as births and weddings. She did beautiful embroidery and crocheting. Although Velma faced many health challenges, she continued to write cards and letters to bless others. She loved God.
Survivors include brother Alan Kuenzi (Helen) of Silverton; sister Linda (Dennis) Miner of Modesto, Calif.; six nieces and nephews; and 11 great-nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her sister, Lois, who died as an infant.
Velma will be missed, and her positive attitude in the midst of adversity inspired all of us.
Funeral services were held at 1:30 p.m., Thursday, April 21, 2005, at Unger Funeral Chapel in Silverton. Interment took place at Mount Hope in Waldo Hills.
