Veronica Ann Benning

It was my privilege to study painting with her. She was influential for many of us.

We were both very young when we met in O.G. I always remember Ronnie whenever I pass by your home on the way to the beach...now I will say a prayer each time I remember her. Rest in peace beautiful lady. My deepest condolences to the Benning family.

I am so grateful to have known and studied with Ronnie. She was a sweet and generous soul.

I am just now hearing about Ronnie's death, and I am deeply shaken by it, even though it's been many years since I've seen her. We taught together at the Portland School of Art, and I remember how deeply she touched her students and how much she meant to those who taught with her. To her family: lease accept my deepest sympathy.

It is a tragedy to lose someone like Ms. Benning, as she obviously touched so many lives in a positive way. I myself had teachers that I wish I could thank personally for all they have done for me, and this beautifully written tribute has inspired me to write them.
For your family, no better words can be found than those of the Scriptures to provide comfort in times of distress. I will leave you with Psalm 56:8, which assures us that God takes note of our tears and remembers us and cares...
