Veronica Sibley Minier, 59, of Thaxton, passed away on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, at her residence, surrounded by the love of her family.

The family will receive friends on Sunday, December 28, 2025, from 2:00 PM until 4:00 PM at Coleman Funeral Home of Oxford. The memorial service celebrating her legacy of love and encouragement will begin immediately following the visitation at 4:00 PM in the chapel of Coleman Funeral Home.

Veronica Constance Sibley graced this world with her presence on March 14, 1966, in Pensacola, Florida, as one of the daughters born to Betty Lou Lyons Whitten and the late Lathan Clay Sibley.

Veronica was a rare and radiant soul. She was someone whose presence made people feel seen, safe, and deeply loved. Nurturing came as naturally to her as breathing, and she spent her life pouring warmth, encouragement, and compassion into everyone she touched.

That gift of nurturing shone most beautifully in her role as a mother. Veronica cherished every season of motherhood, from the wonder she felt during pregnancy to the great pride she carried as she watched her children grow. Her greatest joy and lasting legacy live on through her children, Boone, Bailee, and Zeke, each of whom carries forward her compassion, strength, and capacity for love.

Family was the center of Veronica's world. She shared a deep, devoted love with her husband, Edward Minier, and loved her mother and four sisters fiercely. Veronica was the encourager, the mediator, the one who brought everyone close when she felt it was time for family time. She found her greatest happiness when surrounded by her numerous friends and family, whether gathered around the table sharing stories, laughter, or a delicious meal.

Veronica's compassionate heart made her the most natural kindergarten teacher. She saw each child as an individual who was worthy, capable, and deeply valued. To countless families, she was more than a teacher; she was a constant source of steadiness, encouragement, and love during some of life's earliest and most important years.

She lived passionately, loving deeply and believing strongly in what mattered most. Veronica was thoughtful and fearless in her convictions, especially when it came to justice and politics. She could challenge perspectives, amaze you with conspiracy theories, and always leave others feeling heard and respected. She believed strongly, yet loved even more strongly.

Veronica carried an effortless sense of style and creativity. She had a gift for envisioning beauty before it existed and bringing it to life with intention and grace. Whether through fashion, design, or creative projects, she infused everyday life with meaning and originality, and everything she touched became a reflection of her spirit.

Above all else, Veronica was love made visible. Her warmth was a quiet fire, her compassion a steady light, and her generosity without end. The space she leaves is vast and unfathomable, yet her spirit lingers softly in every heart she touched, every child she guided, and every act of tenderness she inspired.

Veronica's faith was a cornerstone of her life. She believed in the goodness of God, trusted in His promises, and lived each day with a heart open to grace. Even in times of challenge, she found peace in prayer and strength in her belief that love never ends. Those who knew her take comfort in knowing that she rests now in the arms of her Savior, surrounded by the eternal light she carried so faithfully on earth.

Though her time in this world was far too brief, her love is felt in the laughter of her family, in stories shared over a favorite meal, and in the quiet strength she breathed into those she loved. Her light remains, not as a fading glow but as a constant presence, reminding us to love more deeply, live with wonder, and find beauty in life's smallest, most ordinary moments.

May her spirit rest in peace and her love shine forever in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.

Veronica leaves behind a loving family to continue walking down the path of life in her absence; beloved husband, Edward Francisco Minier of Thaxton, Mississippi; mother, Betty Lou Whitten of Blue Springs, Mississippi; three children: Bailee Anne Waldon of Dallas, Texas; Kevin Boone Waldon of Phoenix, Arizona; and Ezekiel Francisco Minier of Thaxton, Mississippi; four sisters: Valerie Peeples and her husband Bob of Pontotoc, Mississippi; Venetta Duff and her husband Al of Pontotoc, Mississippi; Victoria Kilpatrick and her husband TJ of Pontotoc, Mississippi; and Joanna Homan and her husband Jonathan of Pontotoc, Mississippi.

The loved one who departed from this life before her includes her father, Lathan Clay Sibley.
