Velta Frederick Dartez

Velta Frederick Dartez passed away on Monday, July 19, 2021. She was born on February 17, 1930 in Maurice, Louisiana.
Velta was a devoted wife to her husband Harold who preceded her in death; a devoted mother to Michael (Phyllis), Alice (Kim) and Matt (Michelle); and loving grandmother to 9 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. She leaves behind a sister, Jane; a brother, Dale and sisters in law Emma and Louise; and many nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly.
She was preceded in death by her parents Elier and Nemese Frederick; brothers Lully and George; and sister Loul.
Velta worked for the telephone company for a while then settled down to a life on the farm. She loved cooking and baking and you could always find something to eat at her house. Her grandkids always knew there would be gumbo on the stove, tarts on the counter and Frosted Flakes in the freezer. She could often be found playing cards or drinking coffee with friends if she wasn’t working in her flower beds.
