Obituary: Velda Maye Bates was born in Rigby Idaho on May 5, 1923. The third of seven children, she was the only girl. Growing up in town in a farming community, Velda enjoyed her childhood and she gained many friends in school, and church. Born into a Latter Day Saint family, Velda learned early on the qualities of what makes a good person...hard work, honesty, integrity and a love of her Heavenly Father. Velda is the epitome of what a truly good person should be. Velda attended Business in Virginia where she lived with her eldest brother, Dayle and his wife, Edna. It was there that Velda met the man of her dreams, a Texas boy named Foy Word Lawrence in 1942. dated, went to dances, movies and had a large circle of friends. Velda tells of her first kiss from Foy. kissing her for the first time, she told him "my dad told me that the first man who kisses me has to marry me." Foy immediately started to run down the street. Velda shouted at him, "where are you going?" He called back "off to find a preacher!" were married on May 5, (yes, it was her birthday) 1943 in North Carolina. Foy was in the U.S. Navy, and he was to ship out the next morning to fight in the Pacific War theater. North Carolina didn't have a waiting period to marry so they hopped on a bus, rode to that state, married and then got right back on the bus and came back to Virginia, arriving in the early morning hours so he could leave for his assignment aboard ship. Velda didn't see him again for 6 months. By 1946 Foy was stationed in Oak Harbor, Washington and in 1947 they welcomed their first child, a girl they named Karen. Velda and Foy traveled around because he was still in the Navy. being stationed in Arlington, Virginia, New York City, San Diego, and Boston, they returned to Washington state in 1952. Their son, Craig was born in Seattle in 1953. There they stayed until 1956 when Foy was transferred to Japan, taking Velda, kids, car and the family dog with him. Two years in Japan, two more years in North Chicago, Illinois and finally back to Washington in 1960 when he retired from military service. Washington was to remain their home for good. Before the birth of their daughter, Velda had worked as an executive secretary, but then became a stay-at-home mother until Craig was 14, at which time she went to work for Safeco Insurance . She made a career there, retiring at age 62. Foy passed away unexpectedly on Feb. 3, 1982 leaving Velda to provide solely for herself and run her household alone. She never remarried. Velda became an inspiration to her family due to her courage, strength, and determined attitude. Velda has many nephews and nieces. Remember those 6 brothers? She has been much beloved by her many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews and great nieces and nephews. Velda was always supportive and loving of family and friends, and a woman of immense humor, kindness, multiple talents, a firm belief in God and in doing good works at all times. She leaves her daughter Karen Kral (Martin), son Craig Lawrence (Sonya), grandsons Logan Kral, Bryce Lawrence (Crystal), Myles Lawrence and great grandson Logan age 11, great granddaughters Mallory age 8 and Robyn age 1. How she will be missed! Velda will never be forgotten by those who knew and loved her. She was a true lady for the ages. under the direction of Acacia Memorial Park & , Seattle, Washington. |
