Veola said she was born on April 25, 1939, in Clearview, Ok to Lawrence and Marguerite French. She attended and graduated from Clearview High School. Soon after graduating she met and married Johnny West. Veola, pictured in photo with her mother, who lived to the age of 104, is the inspiration for her being the leader of her sixteen siblings, although she was not the oldest. Marguerite had eighteen children, but a set of twins did not live beyond one year. Veola resides in Owasso, but her heart is rooted in Clearview. She and husband Johnny have dedicated their lives to the improvement of Clearview, and she is not afraid to bring the family to join in. Although her parents have gone, the family continues to return to Clearview to celebrate holidays and special occasions. She received a t-shirt for her birthday which read “I thought growing old would take longer.” She doesn’t show any aging. Happy birthday Veola.
