Background

Velma Thompson is a resident of Florida. She is married to Harry Thompson.

During the events of Empire of the Ants (1977) played by Irene Tedrow

Harry and Velma are the first customers to arrive at the charter boat run by Dan Stokely and paid for by Marilyn Fryser. Marilyn introduces everyone to each other and the boat leaves the dock. Marilyn, Charlie Pearson and the customers arrive at Dreamland Shores and mingle and eat hors d'oeuvres. Marilyn takes everyone on a tour of the area and stop for refreshments. While the rest of the group is continuing on with the tour, Velma notices Mary Lawson and Thomas Lawson are gone. Margaret Ellis screams and Charlie recognizes the dead body of Pete in the grass. Joe Morrison and Coreen Bradford decide to look for Mary and Thomas and tell the others they will meet them back at the boat. At the beach, the rest of the group arrive in time to see the Dreamland Shores Ants walking on the dock heading towards the boat. Dan jumps into the water and swims to his boat and helps Crewman fight off the Ants that have climbed aboard. An Ant kills Crewman and Dan sets his boat on fire and swims back to shore. The group makes a campfire and they wonder what is happening. The next morning, it starts to rain, putting out their fire. Dan asks Charlie where the workers came from and Charlie tells everyone the workers had a boat which they left at a nearby river. Marilyn wants to stay while the others leave to try and get the boat. Velma and Harry split off from the others and head in a different direction. They find a shack and hide inside. They leave the hut and are attacked and killed by the Ants.
