Velma E. Newcomer, 96, passed away peacefully at Mennonite Home on May 13, 2021. Born in Millersville in 1924, Velma was the daughter of the late Witmer and Ellen (Stauffer) Neff and was a graduate of Penn Manor High School. She was the loving wife of Warren E. Newcomer, having been married for more than 51 years prior to her husband's passing in 1997. Velma was a devoted homemaker after the birth of her sons and was an excellent baker, regularly making cupcakes, pies, and cookies for her family and for special occasions. Together, she and Warren maintained a large garden, an annual effort that she continued for many years after her husband's death. Velma spent many hours raising and picking lima beans, corn, and strawberries to share.
