Velma Elizabeth Lesley聽

Funeral services for Velma Elizabeth Lesley, 99, will be held July 8 at 2 p.m. in Langston Baptist Church with the Rev. Brandon Blair and the Rev. Bruce Davenport officiating. Entombment will follow at the Hillcrest Mausoleum.聽

Velma, of Conway, peacefully departed to heaven to be with her Savior,聽Jesus Christ, on July 4.

Born in Pickens July 27, 1925, she was a daughter of the late Ernest Tilman and Clovie Alice聽Patterson. From an early age, she was lovingly raised by her Uncle William and Aunt Essie聽Lewis, where she mastered a strong devotion to her Heavenly Father. During this time, she began a lifelong love of gospel music by singing in the family troupe at churches and tent revivals.

Waiting for their heavenly hugs are her devoted husband of 47 years, Daniel M. Lesley Sr.;聽daughters, Barbara and Karen; son, Richard; grandchildren, Bill and Heidi; and sisters, Lois, Ruby聽and Ruth.

Velma鈥檚 greatest attribute to all who knew her was her 鈥渓ove鈥�. Rarely did anyone leave her聽presence without an 鈥淚 love you鈥� following.聽

Left behind to miss her is a son, Daniel M. Lesley聽Jr. (Nancy); a daughter, Sandra L. Plance; six grandchildren, Chris, Wendy, Adam, Jennifer,聽Bryan and Derrik, 16 great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren, and numerous nephews聽and nieces.

Velma was a faithful member of Langston Baptist Church for 57 years, and joyously sang in the聽choir for the majority of her time there. She was employed with Woods Dime Store and Kmart for 23 years.

The family would like to give a special thanks to Annette Rogers of Atlantic Healthcare for her three聽years of love and devotion and Heartland Hospice for their assistance.

The family will receive friends Tuesday from 1 p.m.-1:45 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to Langston Baptist Church, 763 Highway 905, Conway, SC 29526.
