Velma Prince

Velma spent many years working at Fruit of the Loom; she earned a Bachelor Degree in Business from Campbellsville University after the closing of the plant and later retired from Monumental Life Insurance Company.
Although working in her flowers brought Velma much joy, it did not compare to the pride she felt while watching her grandchildren play sports.
