Veronica Theresa Dryer
On Friday, May 21st, in her 84th year, Veronica peacefully transitioned into her eternal new home.
Veronica was loving mother to Paul Dryer and his wife June. She was predeceased by her husband of 29 years, Ian Harte Dryer. Remembered by sisters Kathleen Fitzgerald and Margaret (Robert) Craik and brothers Michael, Christopher (Edith), Jim (Brenda) and Daniel (Dawn) O’Brien. Step-Grandmother to Alex (Nicole) and great grandchildren Aidan and Sebastian.
Veronica was born in Hastings, England and courageously immigrated to Canada in 1957. She enjoyed a career in retail and hairstyling. Veronica loved to give back to community and volunteered for many years in Mississauga at the hospital and Catholic Women’s League, and in Waterloo with Out of the Cold and other community initiatives.
At Veronica’s request there will be no formal funeral visitation or service.
Veronica’s last years were spent in the dedicated care of many at Woodingford Lodge, Ingersoll, Ontario. We are grateful for each nurse, PSW, program staff, volunteer and resident who together created a family environment for her. She was very personable and brought a smile to many in her community.

Dearest Veronica it has taken me a bit to say goodbye to you my friend. I still have a hard time believing that I will never see you again. I never got to say goodbye to you and let you know how much I loved having you as a beautiful friend in my life. I will never forget the day we met the laughs we had and toast and coffee we shared before I started my shifts at work. I will alway be thinking of you and how kind loving caring and sharing you were to me and to many others. GOD bless you and May heaven be a place that you can look down and smile on those you loved and who love you and know that we are looking up-and smiling back at you. Lots of love Elaine
Paul: I was saddened to read that your Mom, Veronica has passed away. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. May you always reflect fondly on the happy times and memories of your Mom. I will miss seeing Veronica’s friendly smile when I visit my Mom at Woodingford Lodge. Sincerely, Mary Dockx (daughter of Ruth Gibson)
So grateful your family and mine were a part of each others lives for so many years … the talks. the laughs, the family celebrations and always your kind thoughtfulness. I know the last few years have been a struggle for you Veronica and in my heart I know you are at peace now. Another Angel to watch over us.

Dear Paul, June and Family
John and I would like to say how sorry we were to hear about your mother. She was a very lovely lady and we were glad to know her for all those years. We knew Ian years before, he was born in Edinburgh where I was born. Your Mum is wih him now. God Bless from ..The Boon Family.
I always remember Veronica being the older cousin and in awe of her skills at always looking so good. It was a brave move to Canada and one which proved to be such a success for her. She will be missed for her voluntary work in the community and her obvious care for others and of course, that distinctive smile!!! Love to Paul and June x
As a small child I remember her cutting my hair in our kitchen when she just started hairdressing. I must have been 5 yrs old when I snuck into her bedroom to try on all her jewelry. Veronica really did put up with a lot being the elder sister of seven children! It was with her support we were able to come to Canada. She really was a great sister to look up to. Lots of love to you Paul and June during this sad time. May she Rest In Peace ❤️

I was sorry to hear of Veronica’s death. I only knew her for a short while but got to spend some quality time with her. We had great conversations and she loved getting her hair done. She was always so adorable and loved to visit. I just loved her. I enjoyed my times with her. She was a beautiful person inside and out. We had many talks about God and different hymns She liked. I thought of her often and always wanted the best for her. May God carry the family through the next while as you say " till we meet again!" Big hugs to both Paul and June.
Terri was a gem. She always made you feel loved and valued when she was listening to you with genuine interest. She could take to anyone she met. Terri always showed her generosity to us and the kids. She will be greatly missed. All our love to Paul and June

So very sorry for your loss Paul and June. I remember Aunt Terri was a kind, loving and generous person and we are very fortunate to have had her as part of our family. May she rest in peace.
