I just was made aware of this obituary. As a child growing up in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, I was a patient of the pediatric practice which (then) Dr. Bruiks joined in 1954. While my regular pediatrician was Dr. Lewis Preston in that clinic, I saw Dr. Bruiks in several occasions in Dr. Preston. While my recollections are not extremely clear, I do recall Dr. Bruiks as a caring and very professional pediatrician. And I recall that my parents thought very highly of her, as they did of Dr. Preston and Dr. Dan Thomas, the other pediatrician in the practice at that time.
I had known of Dr. Bruiks later life. It appears that Oak Ridge’s loss was very much to the gain of the area in North Carolina in which she settled after her marriage. Now reading of her early life, I realize that she really lived a remarkable life.

For 15 plus years "Aunt" Velta was my summer physician, Christmas Eve chef, and family friend. From Mactown to that step driveway behind the Jarrett House, to my wild tricycle ride down the hill that brought everyone running out of the house (who know everyone was secretly watching us!) Velta was the center of a string of memories. She was one of the great ones! John & Maria, I'd love to catch up, please contact me. "Cousin" Jon

An amazing woman for what she dedicated to the world. Two world wars where she lost her home, and worked for the army until she got to America. Then she practiced as pediatrician for Jackson County, and built an estate with her family. Must have been what made her happy.
