Ms. Veronica Theresa Lund (nee Briére), passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on Wednesday, July 13, 2016 at the age of 66 years. Veronica was born on February 22, 1950 at North Battleford, Saskatchewan. She grew up in Cold Lake, Alberta and settled in Red Deer, Alberta. Veronica lived for her family and friends, always there for whoever showed up on her doorstep. She had a love for building puzzles, doing word searches, playing bingo, sewing, knitting and crocheting. Veronica was known for her impeccable organization which showed in the love she had for her home. She was the biggest fan with her cowbell; whether she was cheering for her Oilers, or at her grandson’s hockey games. She enjoyed browsing the aisles at Value village; which contributed to her huge collection of elephants. (More than six hundred!) Veronica will be forever cherished for being a beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and a dear friend to so many. Veronica will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, Angela Robinson; son, Ward (Sherry) Lund; grandchildren, Chelsie (Zoulton), Brody (Melisa), Braedon (Nicole), Chalene, Anthony (Athena), Chyrese and Logan; and great grandchildren, Brooklyn, Owen and Kaleb. She will also be sadly missed by her siblings, Harvey, Bernie, Marie, Peter, Shirley (Leo) and Christina. Veronica was predeceased by her parents, Angus and Marjorie, stepfather, Henry; sisters, Margie and Marion; a brother, Frank; and her fiancé, Lyle Thomas.
