Enumclaw, WA—Velma Vanlandingham, a beloved grandmother remembered fondly by family and friends, has passed away. Her family is now preparing to gather for her memorial service to honor her life. Velma’s passing early on October 29 has left a financial burden, leading her granddaughter, Sarah Stair, to establish a GoFundMe campaign to help cover essential funeral expenses. This fundraiser aims to support the family with costs related to the casket, burial, and other associated expenses.
The memorial service is scheduled for Tuesday, November 12, at 11:00 AM at First Baptist Church of Enumclaw, located at 3466 Porter Street, Enumclaw, WA. Friends and family are invited to join in honoring Velma’s life, with a reception to follow, including lunch. For those unable to attend in person, the family has requested donations to the memorial fund in lieu of flowers. Contributions can be made through GoFundMe or directly by check to Velma’s daughter, Kathy Ivie.
Many in the community have shared their condolences, including heartfelt messages from close friends:
- Dushy Facchinello expressed, “Our deepest condolences to you and your family.”
- Megan Judd offered, “Sending love, good thoughts and hugs to you and your family.”
- Mishele Shiree Barnett shared, “Sending you and your family so much love, sweet friend! You’re in my prayers!”
- Steffanie Foster Gustafson commented, “Thinking of you and so happy you were able to spend her final days together.”
With the GoFundMe currently raising $150 out of its $10,000 goal, Sarah Stair expressed her gratitude for the support from friends and family during this difficult time.
We extend our deepest sympathies to Velma’s family and pray for peace and comfort for them during this time of mourning.
