Obituary of Veronica Melitzer

It is with great sadness that we announce her passing on Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at St. Mary’s Hospital in her 90th year of West Montrose. Beloved wife of Ronald for 63 years. Loving mother of Wayne Melitzer, Cal Melitzer, Bev Wendland, Diann Hollebrandse and son-in-law John Hollebrandse. She will be dearly missed by her grandchildren, Chad Melitzer, Tyler Wendland and his wife Shineen Huque, Leslie Wendland, Brad Hollebrandse, Natasha Hollebrandse and fiancé Brad Seftel. Great grandchildren Cameron and Carter Melitzer and James Wendland. Sister- in-law to Shelly and Lorna Melitzer and Vida Geddes. Predeceased by her parents Martin and Hilda Hauck, brother Harry and sister Theresa Hauck; grandson Colin Melitzer and son-in-law Gary Wendland. A special thanks to Deb and Salena for all the care they provided over the years. She lived a challenging life very courageously. What she missed most was the ability to stand up and dance. You now have the choice to sit or dance and we know you’ll choose to dance! At Veronica’s request, cremation has taken place.
