Velma Juanita Stallings Jones, entered life on Saturday, October 8, 2022 at 94 years of age. Her children were there to bid her farewell. She was born May 18, 1928 in Sacramento, KY to the late Oren Dunn and Edna May Dunn. Velma was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. The Lord was her mainstay. She loved with everything her heart and hands could give. She never thought of herself and her family was always first. All the memories to prove that would fill a book. Velma married Felix T. Stallings and had nine children. Felix died at the age of 47 and several years later she met and married William Jones who’s wife had passed. William had nine children. When they married, all 18 children had married and moved away. William passed several years ago leaving Velma alone to love the Lord even more.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husbands, Felix Tyler Stallings and William C. Jones; siblings, Harold Dunn, Loyd Dunn, Dalton Dunn, David Dunn, Howard Dunn, Ruby Morris, and Edna Nesmith; and stepsons, Mike Jones and Kenny Jones.
