Obituary

Veleda was born on September 12, 1928 in Snowball, Arkansas, to Henry and Minnie (McCutcheon) Watkins.
Veleda was married to Barney Tyner on January 12, 1952 in Harrison, Arkansas. Their marriage spanned from coast to coast and over 63 years of life together. She was a member of Capps Full Gospel Church for many years; her infallible faith will be remembered. She was, at heart, a Sunday school teacher and student of the Bible.
She was an avid quilter and made many quilts for her children and grandchildren. She also loved to garden, grow flowers, and can vegetables, but above all she loved to read her Bible till dementia took her mind. She was an inspiration to all and she was a loved and cherished lady.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Barney Doyle Tyner, her brothers, Rutherford Omer, Alvin and Reuel Watkins and sisters, Lora, Onie, and Cora Watkins, her sister-in-law Trudella Watkins, a son Phillip Anthony, and a grandson Brenton James Tyner.
