Picture
Velma Jane Parks (nee Clemens) of Hespeler passed away peacefully with her children by her side at the age of 78 on August 15th, 2016. Predeceased by her parents Reid and Mary Clemens and baby sister to Glen (late Kay), Isobel (late Murray) and the late Lloyd, (late Margaret) Eddie (Doris) Clemens. Devoted Mother to Peter Parks (Laura), Jayne Weber (Laurent), Sandy Gibson (Kenny) Lisa Parks, and the late Scott Parks. Proud Grandmother to Joshua, Jaime Brayden, Cameron, Sabrina, Cody, Andrew and Great Grandmother to Ella and Brody. Caring aunt, great-aunt, cousin, and friend to many.
 
Velma overcame many challenges in her life and still managed to lovingly raise and support her five children with courage and strength. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends both locally and in the Cayman Islands. She loved keeping busy, had a flair for fashion and never passed up a good card game.
 
Funeral services to be held at Saint Luke’s United Church on Saturday 20th August, visitation from 12 pm – 2 with the funeral service to follow immediately after.
 
Her strength and determination have inspired many; she will be greatly missed.
 
Our family sends a heartfelt thank you to the ICU team at the Grand River Hospital who went above and beyond with care and compassion.
