Veronica Adella Richards

Veronica Adella Richards arrived at her final destination, Heavenly Heights on Tuesday, September 15, 2026. Imagine! As she approached the pearly gates, the gates swung open. Standing in the gateway was Jesus Christ her Lord and Saviour with a smile as wide as the diameter of the universe. He looked at her and spoke softly. “Well done good and faithful servant. You may enter into your rest. I’ve waited with great anticipation for you. Precious in my sight are you my saintly Veronica Adella Richards for you have died in me.” Imagine! As Jesus reaches out to greet Veronica with a holy kiss, Velvit the cat rushes in. Seizing the moment, Velvit meowed. “Grandma, what took you so long. I missed you dearly.” Affectionately Velvit looked at Veronica. Pitifully she said: “Did you forget I need a daily dose of tummy rub. Today I move into your mansion in Heavenly Heights.”

God blessed us with Veronica Adella Richards on March 6, 1947. Missing her more than words can say, God called her home. Veronica was a loving mother of three, Claudine (Blessing), Marcia, and Andrew (Michelle) and a doting grandmother of seven (Chantell, Martika, Marquan, Precious, Marniesa, Joshua and Justin).

Veronica exemplified the Lord in that she loved her children and grandchildren equally. She was a Godly woman who exuded the peace of God in every difficult and unbearable situation. She was the epitome of perseverance by faith in Jesus Christ, the One in whom she could do all things, no matter the difficulties. Her faith was admirable and worthy of emulation.

On behalf of Veronica and family, we express our heartfelt gratitude to the management and staff at Southlake Residential Care Village. They were many staff persons at Southlake Residential Care Village that went over and beyond the call of duty to provide care for Veronica. We thank each of you from the depth of our hearts for loving her as if she was your own mother. We saw your tears and heard your stories of personal interaction with Veronica. We are pleased Veronica had a positive impact on your lives.
