I am so sorry for your loss. I was very fond of Velma and enjoyed my time with her. I would clean for her every Friday; enjoying our many chats, meals we cooked together and shopping. Her love of teaching was clearly known as she spoke of it most often. Her love for her family and dogs were apparent to whomever she met. My thoughts are with the family as you grieve at this time.

So sorry for your loss Gary and family. I would tell my friends that Velma had a lot of patience with her students. The year she taught my son Sean and his best friend Jimmy she had a special name for them because they skipped a lot of school... she called them "Here a day, Gone a day"... she had a good sense of humor!

Gary, Peter, Marianna and Billie-Sue, my sincere condolences on your loss. Velma was a force to be reckoned with, a much respected teacher, a kind person, a fellow horse lover and she had a great sense of humour. I’ll always remember her happily walking my run away horse home to me when she’d go visiting you in Mill village!

My sincerest condolences to Velma's family! Velma and I met as teenagers and shared a passion for horses. In later years we ended up both teaching at HERH. Although we had lost touch I thought of her often. She was a true "character"!

“Mrs Curry” was my English teacher in high school. I wrote a lot as a hobby back then, and she took the time to read through my poems and give me feedback and encourage me, even in her off time. That was 30-ish years ago and I still remember how she made me feel. She was a Legend. My heart goes out to her family and friends.

Velma was my mentor when I first started teaching at South Colchester. I was so fortunate to have her as a colleague. No one knew literature as well as Velma. Very few enjoyed the level of students' respect as Velma so rightfully enjoyed. I replaced her when she was given a sabbatical to study at SMU. Later, she joined me at HERH and became my department head. Velma was intelligent, outrageous, and empathetic. Great freind.
