Mary F. Velarde

June 15, 1934 — January 8, 2016

Mary (Grams) Velarde, 81, of West Valley City, Utah returned to her heavenly home early January 8, 2016 after a valiant battle with illness.  Her devotion to her family and her firm belief in God supported her in her struggle and ultimately gave her peace.
Mary was blessed with a large and loving family.  Mary was a devoted Mother, Grandmother, and friend.  She was a dedicated individual who took pride in everything she did.  She was a lover of all the small things in life.  Most of all she loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-great grandchild.  She loved Sunday dinners and all holidays spent with her family.
We knew that morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home
You left us peaceful memories; your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
