In addition to her parents and siblings, Velma was preceded by her husband of 65 years, Donzel L. Walbrown; three daughters, Sharon and Kathy Walbrown, and Pamela Dudding; daughter-in-law, Cindy Shirley Walbrown.

Due to COVID 19, her burial will be private. She will be laid to rest beside her husband, at the Road Run Cemetery, Beech, West Virginia.
