Lewis Albert Veney

Lewis Albert Veney, better known as “Albert”, was the youngest son born to the late Mary Ida Sorrell and Clayburn Veney on Monday, April 30th, 1934, in Richmond County, Virginia.

After a brief illness, Albert was called home to be with the Lord on Monday, March, 17th, 2025, at his home in Callao, Virginia.

Albert received his education in the Richmond County School System and devoted himself to Mulberry Baptist Church from a young age. In 1957, he was drafted into the U.S. Army and served with honor until his discharge in 1963.

Throughout his life, Albert held various jobs, including working at a sawmill, construction in Rockville, Maryland, hauling pokewood, and employment with several seafood industries. His passions included hunting, fishing, engine rebuilding (often completing projects in a single day), gardening, fast cars, classic TV shows, and jigsaw puzzles. Albert found immense joy in family cookouts, cherishing those moments with loved ones.

Albert’s legacy will forever be remembered by those who knew him, as a man of strength, dedication, and unwavering love for his family and friends. May his spirit live on in the hearts of all who were touched by his presence.

Albert was preceded in death by his three sisters: Martha Haynie, Pauline Veney, and Elizabeth William; and one brother, James Veney.
