Velma Louise Gregg
Velma Louise Gregg was born June 10, 1921, in Florence and passed away April 27, 2004, in Tacoma, Wash.
We praise you, Father, that in gentleness and peace she slipped from life into LIFE, from your earthly care to your eternal care.
Velma Louise was the beloved wife of Charles Eldon Gregg, her faithful, loving husband of 60 years.
The daughter of Karl and Faye Kallin, Velma Louise was born and raised in the Bitterroot Valley. It was there she met her husband. One of their greatest pleasures was attending the dances in the valley and this love for dancing continued on throughout their life together.
After graduating from Hamilton High School she worked at the Anderson Ranch Dam in Idaho during its construction and later was employed by The Boeing Company in Auburn, Wash., as a computer analyst, retiring after 30 years.
She was an excellent gardener and shared graciously her bounty of vegetables, fruits and flowers. She loved reading, music, travel, camping, and the Pacific Ocean, especially Kalaloch. However, her greatest passion was her family.
Velma Louise is survived by her husband, Charles Eldon Gregg; her children, Sherryle and Dean Everson, Karla Gregg, Glenn and Elisabeth Gregg; her grandchildren, David and Misty Everson, Lori and Wes Butler, Kosta Lois, Gregg Lois, Noah Gregg, Aaron Gregg, Amanda Gregg; and her great grandchildren, Eli Everson, Chase Butler, Tanner Butler.
Her parents, one brother, James Kallin, and three sisters, Marie Tintzman, Marjorie Hellerstedt and Jean Martello, preceded her in death. One sister, Leona Denning, remains.
Velma Louise faced these last few years of failing health with much courage and grace and a strong faith in God. We know she would now say to us "Think positive, be strong, be faithful to God and his word."
