Veronica was well loved by her family and friends.  She always showed her kindness, care, and hospitality to all who knew her and visited with her.  She showered her nieces and nephews with much love and generosity. She and her sisters, Agnes “Aggie,” Isadora “Izzy” and Romalda “Ru”, were always seen together at most local gatherings, organizational meetings and community celebrations.  Many folks thought they were two sets of twins or would comment, “The Shattuck’s are coming!!”

Veronica was always ready to travel to see many parts of the country to visit family, friends or just to vacation.  She was talented with her sewing skills and enjoyed participating and teaching line dancing. Her warm and friendly smile will be missed!

The Shattuck family’s generosity reached many Native American Highland University students pursuing a degree in Education through their endowment gift.
