married to Arnold Roy on March 19, 1976. She spent 27 years married and had two children which she

Veronica (Ronnie) will always be remembered for her infectious smile, her sense of humor and carefree

attitude. She loved to dance and spend time with her friends and family. She would often been seen

out and about in her favorite car, her yellow Ford Mustang drinking Tim Hortons coffee.

Colton and Kayden King.

She is survived by her loving husband Richard of Auburn, her sisters Rita and husband Jack Vanic of

Ronnie leaves behind many other nieces, nephews, cousins and other family members and friends that

all meant a great deal to her.

A very special thank you to Androscoggin Home Care and Hospice for their compassion, support, and

care.
