Sr Veronica was born 2 November 1954 on the island of Wagina, and was professed 15 November 1976.

Veronica is the first of the Solomon Island Dominican Sisters to die. Her death at Wagina was sudden. She died within an hour of returning home from school, where she had gone for the religion classes although not feeling well. She loved teaching, especially prayer, and the students loved her dearly - one of whom accompanied her home after classes on this last morning.

May she rest in peace.
