Velma was born on June 2, 1937 in Beech Grove, IN to Jacob Nelson and Marsha Eloise (Gillespie) Sedam.  Velma had a very strong work ethic and ran her own company Tricounty Asphalt Paving before retiring.  In her younger days she was active in the community and a member of the Order of the Eastern Star.  She enjoyed traveling to Florida and golfing.  She was also a fan of Peyton Manning and watched Sunday Football often.  

Velma had a very strong faith, and was a member of Southport Christian Church Disciples of Christ and later Franklin Central Christian Church Disciples of Christ.  She had a lot love in her heart, and she showered it on those around her.  She loved caring for horses when she had them, and was a dog-lover, she doted on them.  She was a wonderful mother and loved being a grandmother. 

Velma is survived by her children Tom Calvert and Jean Ann Calvert; her brother Don Sedam; five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents Jacob and Marsha Sedam, Velma is preceded in passing by her husband Wayne Calvert; her daughter Linda Calvert; and her brothers Harold Sedam and Clifford Sedam.
