Today and always, we remember Velvet Pesu, a woman whose remarkable spirit was grounded in love, generosity, and deep care for others.
Velvet had a rare gift. She gave freely and wholeheartedly, her time, her music, her art, her warmth, her laughter, and her hugs. She loved without condition and never asked for anything in return. To know Velvet was to feel seen, welcomed, and cared for.
Velvet was a devoted mother who adored her daughters, and her love for them was evident in everything she did. Music and art were not just passions for Velvet; they were expressions of her generosity, shared openly with our community and woven into so many moments of connection.
Velvet was a founding member of Jacaranda Housing and a member of the Inner West Housing Co-Operative, which merged with Jacaranda in 2012. Her commitment to community, belonging, and care for others helped shape the values that continue to guide us today.
Velvet will always be remembered for her kindness and generosity, for the way she loved everyone, for her gentle strength, and for her unwavering belief in everyone.
We will never forget you, Velvet.
We will miss your laugh, your hugs, and your beautiful spirit.
