Veronica attended Phlebotomy school where she performed her job at Avera, Sanford and was currently with the State of South Dakota where she was a Phlebotomist for the Department of Corrections.

Veronica was a beloved Daughter, Sister, Granddaughter, Niece, Cousin, and special Mother to Dustin. She had a very close relationship with her sister Deserae and her brother Dustin.

Veronica loved hanging out with family, friends, playing volleyball, darts, singing karaoke and walking her dogs. She loved crafts including crochet and creating items on her Cricket. With her love of antiques and collectibles, she had a booth at 605 Antiques for many years. Veronica was also drawn to nature. She loved finding unique rocks, anywhere she went, and loved walking and searching the beach at Galveston for that perfect seashell, arrowhead or shark tooth. She also enjoyed mission trips to Pine Ridge and Elly Minnesota, all of which were through Peace Lutheran where she was a member.

We will always remember Veronica for her infectious smile, positive outlook on life, and her unique way of making people feel special.

From the last book Ronni read, Anatomy of a Spirit, came one of her favorite quotes:

"In case no one told you today, You are beautiful. You are loved. You are needed. You are alive for a reason. You are stronger than you think. My time here is short – what can I do the most beautifully"
