She married my Uncle Bradford Bray in the early 1960s after the death on 14 May 1958 of his first wife, Charlotte Crockett. Vellora and her friend, Marion Goldbach, sold their property on Green's Island across the Reach from Vinalhaven to my brother on May 12, 1964. Vellora and Marion had purchased the property from our grandmother in 1936 so it returned to the Bray family. Vellora had no further use for the property after she married Uncle Brad and moved to his home on Vinalhaven. When Vellora could no longer manage the home on Vinalhaven, she moved to an assisted care facility in Rockland, Maine. I don't have an exact date of her death but I'm thinking it was either in the late 1970s or early 1980s. Her records would probably be at Rockland City Hall or Vinalhaven. She was cremated and her ashes strewn over the Reach in Vinalhaven. I attended the service which was beautiful! ly held aboard a lobster boat with people who knew her alongside in their skiffs. A wreath was thrown out and friends threw wildflowers they knew she loved over the water, also. It was a very lovely service. Hope this helps.
