She was born December 4, 1920, to Louise (Graalfs) Lubbe and Bill Lubbe in Hardin Township. She graduated from country school and attended Treynor High for one year.

She then worked at Blue Star Foods and then at Jennie Edmundson Hospital for 14 years in the Housekeeping Department. Velma lived on her brothers farm in the Treynor area for 40 years until his passing, when she moved to Harlan, living in a apartment and then at Elm Crest Retirement Home. Velma often talked about the drought when she was a little girl and walking for 2 miles to country school. She enjoyed riding in a horse and buggy once in a while.

Velma is preceded in death by her parents; and brother, Marvin Lubbe.
