Veronica Cetone Obituary

Cetone, Veronica

passed away on January 22, 2026, in Springboro, Ohio. Born on May 31, 1940, in Dayton, Ohio, Veronica filled her years with joy and warmth that touched everyone around her. For many years, she served as the head cook for Northridge local schools, where she was known for her dedication and the love she put into every meal. Upon retiring, she continued to share her passion for food with her family, who enjoyed many of her delicious creations. Veronica had a bubbly personality that made her a joy to be around. She shared many wonderful memories with her group of girlfriends, often traveling together and creating adventures that would last a lifetime. Family was very important to her; she cherished the moments spent together and always made time for those she loved. She is survived by her children, Kimberly (Ray) Geis and Christopher (Missy) Cetone; her twin sister, Maria Sipple; her grandchildren, Kristina (Justin) Brackenhoff, Addison Cetone, and Jaxson Cetone; and her great-grandchildren, Ethan, Kaleb, Aiden, and Gavin. They will all carry her memory in their hearts. Veronica was preceded in death by her husband, Ralph Cetone; her parents, Frank and Irene Luckoski; and her brother, Frank Luckoski. She will be missed dearly, but her legacy of love and laughter will remain with all who knew her.

Ven made my work day so much better, she was the first person I would see in the mornings as I would stop in the cafeteria for coffee and to see what she was cooking. I loved her biscuits and gravy and pineapple upside down cake. I was so fortunate to have worked with her.

Veronica took great care of everyone at Grafton Kennedy School. The joy of the Lord shone through her. I have been blessed to have known her.
