Velma J. Pfeiffer, 97 of Batavia and formerly of Attica, passed away peacefully on Wednesday (February 7, 2024) at United Memorial Medical Center.
She was born August 10, 1926 in Gardenville, NY, a daughter of the late John and Julia Gadra Kelchelin.
Velma was the owner and operator of the Pfeiffer Produce and Greenhouse which was located in Attica for several years. Because she grew up on a family farm, she was not afraid to get her hands dirty. Even in her later years, she was still engaged with her gardening and washing her car. She enjoyed listening country music, especially the Ghost Riders and Elvis impersonators. Velma also was a collector of angels.
She was the wife of the late George Pfeiffer and sister of the late Esther Ciembor, Ruth Waldraff and Georgianna McCarthy.
Survivors include her daughters, Nancy (late John) Pocock of Batavia, Donna (late John) Kruppa of Batavia. Son, George Pfeiffer of Alden. Grandchildren, Adam Kruppa and Tara Freitag. Great-grandchildren, Kyle Kruppa, Jayce Kruppa and Aubrey Freitag.
Family and friends are invited to a Funeral Mass on Monday (February 12th) at 10am at Saints Joachim and Anne Parish, 50 East Ave., Attica. She will be laid to rest in St. Vincent Cemetery.
