Veva continued working at Boeing until retirement and in 2010 moved to Lewisville, Tx to be closer to her daughters. She had many hobbies throughout her life, in her younger days she was a champion bowler and a fantastic seamstress making her daughter’s school clothes and crocheted many Afghans too. Later in life she had her own ceramic shop, Veva Lee Creations and made many beautiful ceramics, from exquisite Christmas and Easter figurines, to fairies and southwest décor, and many other decorative items. She was quite the crafter. She also loved and had a large collection of various teddy bears and dolls too. “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever” 2 Timothy 2:1 “From the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint.
