Veronica Ottey

I love and miss you. Really was an Angel sent down from heaven.

Years have past since I retired from SIIS. While I worked there, I had the very good experience of knowing Ronnie, all of us there were, I recall, rather much like one big Family. My memories of Ronnie, are truly the best, she was always friendly, liked by all, a genuinely very fine person, her religious beliefs, quite sincere and earnest. Of all the people I have known, I can honestly say, that she impressed me as one of the finest people I have ever met. Most sincere condolences to all of her family, all of her many many loved ones.

Mama you are my life, my confidant, my everything I know what I have to do more then ever now to be with you again. You have taught me to be exactly who I am today and the appreciation runs so deep. When NO ONE believed in me, it didn´t matter because you did. Thank you Jesus for blessing me to have such a wonderful, spiritual, loving, beautiful, faithful mother. Mom you truly are one of a kind. I love you mama and this pain is excruciating now but that is just to make sure I change my life even more to be with you again. My mom

My deepest sympathy, You were one of the first people I met when I moved to Las Vegas 20 + years ago via your children and whenever I called or FaceTime with Nakia you were almost always there ! Such a beautiful kind and caring soul. You will be missed. Love Nakeshai

My deepest sympathy to the family! My heart goes out to you guys. My friend, my friend oh what a friend she was to me! We laughed then we would cry together in prayer. I truly miss you but God knew what was best. No more pain, tears or heartaches. Just know that your Mom. Sister, Aunt, cousins and friends that you Ronnie loved us all in a different way! Rest In Peace RIP Veronica Ottey! . From Linda Lee and family

What can I say except I´m missing you Everyday! We´ve laughed till both of us almost stop breathing! Yes we´ve cried and prayed together too, You´ve given me sound advice and put me in my place when necessary. I´ve known you my whole life and the older we got the closer we got. My Beautiful Lovely Cousin, Love you forever.

Momma was the best. I could not have asked for a better mother. When EVERYBODY gave up and counted me out; she was still there telling me how I was destined for greatness. Me alone, has taken Veronica through so much, and it was always her strength and love that pulled me through. This demo of a strong woman, managed to raise a strong man. I remember not too long ago she explained to me to keep my heart as sweet as possible at all times. She went on to explain to me that no matter how many people has taken advantage of her kind heart who has wronged her in any kind of way she will continue to do just has she has. She said, "Jr, u keep that heart you continue to give give give your time, money, and energy, to those who need it and God will continue to bless you." From that moment, I knew, this is what I must do.

Prayers & condolences to the family.
We grew up with Ronnie in late 50's, 60's& 70's in Las Vegas {Berkley Square} neighborhood.

I remember Her mom {Mrs. McClemore} would call Ronnie & Georgie home with a loud voice {Ronnnnnie, Georgieeee} & when I was a (little girl) I had a fever blister Ronnie said "use some ear wax"; I said: "we don't have any" she laughed & said its in your ear, that is a fond memory as is playing tether ball, stick ball, kick ball

Ronnie had a high pitch voice and she seemed to have never aged, a beautiful face, bright smile.

I left Vegas for 25 years and had seen Ronnie only a few times over the years but even still; childhood memories never fade.

Nonetheless, she & Dorothy my sister were childhood friends and of same age group were still in contact.
