Veronica M. Stack

Veronica (LaVerne) M Stack, 96, passed away peacefully on November 22, 2016 at her home in Hillsboro, Oregon.

Veronica was born in Flensburg, MN on May 19, 1920, daughter of John and Mary Jendro. She was one of seven children.

Veronica married Levi G Stack on May 23, 1939 raising four boys and enjoying more than sixty years of marriage together.

Veronica was a loving and devoted wife and mother. She often acted as the 'silent partner' in her husband 's business ventures whether it was keeping the books, waiting on customers, or even stocking shelves. She had a great love of life and will be remembered for her warm heart and infectious smile. She was active, engaged, and independent her whole life.

Veronica moved to Oregon in 2002 to start a life of retirement surrounded by grandchildren and great grandchildren. She loved visiting the Oregon Coast and riding through the Oregon Wine Country (and even stopping for wine tasting). She joined St Matthew's Catholic Church and became very active in the Rosary and Perpetual Adoration Society. In addition, she was a regular at daily Mass. In that milieu she met and became great friends with a number of the other 'regulars.'

Veronica was predeceased by her husband Levi in 1999 and son, Robert, in 2002. She is survived by one sibling, Edward Jendro who is 102. She is survived by Robert's widow, Marilyn, along with her three sons and spouses, Daniel (Gina) of Hillsboro, OR, Kenneth (Reidun) of Richfield, MN, and Philip (Lois) of Hamden, ME, eight grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
