Veva never looked at the bad in others but always the good in them. She did a lot gracefully for her family and many friends and was always ready to brighten up your day. You could also say she was the life of the party and was always ready to sing and dance! Veva was employed at Sonic for many years and loved her job. She was a very hard worker and always put pride into her work. Veva was a very good cook and loved to make enchiladas and tacos for her family, that was her go to meal.
