Veta Lee Humphrey, age 94, of Iberia, went to her Heavenly home on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.  She was born on June 14, 1930, daughter of the late Alvie and Pearl (Plemmons) Shelton.  On June 23, 1947, Veta was united in marriage to Truman Ellis Humphrey, who preceded her in death on July 21, 1999.

Family get-togethers for holidays and any occasion delighted her.  Veta was a loving caretaker who found joy in helping those in need, working in her garden and had a knack for cooking and baking.  Her homemade apple pie, German chocolate cake, and chicken and dumplings were a family favorite! She took an active role in the lives of her grandchildren and was a wealth of knowledge regarding her community and family history.  Her 94 years of life have blessed her with countless experiences and cherished memories.

Her journey in this life was marked by love, compassion, and an unwavering faith in God.  Veta's deep-rooted faith profoundly impacted her family and the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing her.  She was a devoted long-time member of Iberia First Christian Church and was actively involved in the ladies group.  Her legacy of love and devotion to Christ will carry on in generations to come.

Those left to treasure her memory are two daughters, Sharron (Bob) Harris and Karon (Ron) Schmitt; four grandchildren, Adam (Lindsey Benney) Curry, Amy (Andy) Reed, Abbie (Mitch) Williams, and Jeff (Shaya) Schmitt; six great-grandchildren, Bryce Reed, Ellis Reed, Addison Williams, Cash Williams, Emerson Schmitt, and Bronson Schmitt; bonus great-grandchildren, Wyatt Benney and Emmett Benney; and a host of nieces, nephews, family, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Alvie and Pearl Shelton; husband, Truman Humphrey; four brothers, Louie, Hubert, Glen, and Cecil Shelton; and two sisters, Altha Mae Shackelford and Reba Allen.

A visitation will be held from 5 to 7 p.m., on Wednesday, January 15, at Fancher-Rekus Funeral Home in Iberia.

Funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, January 16, at Iberia First Christian Church with Pastor Stan Way officiating.  Interment will be held in Iberia Cemetery.
