Verona Bubak

October 12, 1939 - October 3, 2024

Our beloved mother and grandmother, Verona Lea Boger Bubak, passed away on Thursday, October 3, 2024 at the age of 84. Verona was born to Albert and Hazel Boger on October 12, 1939 in Plentywood, Mont.

Verona grew up in Froid, Mont. and attended Froid High School before meeting the love of her life, Leonard Bubak. The two were married on June 15, 1958 in Froid at Grandview Church of the Brethren. Their loving marriage of 58 years until Leonard's passing in 2016 was the foundation behind their numerous relationships with family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, fellow volunteers and church members. Leonard and Verona raised two sons in Billings, Mont., and cherished their many visits with their three grandchildren and daughters-in law. Together, Leonard and Verona volunteered at St. Vincent's Hospital, and served at First Christian Church in Billings for decades. Verona taught Sunday School for many years and contributed to various church committees.

After graduating from Froid High School, Verona attended business school in Minot, N.D. She and Leonard lived in several states in the northwest before settling down in their lovely home in Billings in 1967. Verona was known as a loving neighbor who helped others any way she could whether with offering an encouraging word, spending time with an ailing friend or sharing sweet treats that she had freshly baked. Verona was well known by children and parents in the Billings Heights community from her decades working as the Bitterroot Elementary School secretary from 1972 to 1999.

This past May Verona moved to Birmingham, Ala. to live near her younger son and daughter-in-law. Verona was surrounded by her children when she peacefully passed away at her home. A memorial gathering with family and friends will be held at a later date in Billings and Froid. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Samaritan's Purse https://www.samaritanspurse.org/.
