She was united in marriage to Ray C. Wibbels on December 26, 1948, and to this union six children were born. Bryan, Lollie , Gloria, Marta, Kay and Paul.
Veda was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Wolbach, NE from 1948-1988. While a member of Trinity she worked with the teenagers as their sponsor, she enjoyed young people very much.
While in Wolbach she was involved in several clubs: Logan Ladies Aid, Happy Hour Club and she held numerous offices in the Church and Sunday School.
Ray and Veda retired and moved to Grand Island, NE in 1988. She then became a member of Peace Lutheran Church. After moving to Grand Island they became active in their neighborhood. Veda was known to be the host of the yearly Neighborhood Christmas party for all of the young people up until she had her stroke in 1999. Their homes were always a place for the young people to gather to work and play.
She loved to grow beautiful flowers and always had a beautiful lawn. She was known for her delicious cooking and she was always generous and willing to add that extra plate to the dinner table when someone extra came for dinner.
She loved her Lord and Church very much. Her Children and Grandchildren were a joy to her. She thought every new grandchild that was born "Looked just like her".
