Throughout her life, Veola remained rooted in Arkansas, where she built a home filled with love and resilience. Her journey from Parkin to Springdale reflected a lifetime of dedication to family and community.
May Veola Jennings’ memory bring comfort to those who knew her and continue to inspire strength in the hearts of their loved ones.
