Veronica expressed to me that one of the hardest times of her life was when she found out she had breast cancer. She stated that "the initial shock, you know, was a lot to take in. It was a mental thing, I suppose". She says that she was diagnosed in her mid 50s, but was declared cancer free a few years after!

Veronica worked out of high school at an insurance exchange building as a keypunch operator. She explains that “It was a card, by means of punching holes in certain places meant certain things. It went into a  big system, where a machine would read the hole punches". She said that she had to go to a school for 3 days to learn how to properly perform the job. She worked there from 1960 to 1962, when she had her first child.
