Veronica Lynn Bandy, “Ronnie”, age 43 of Maplewood, MN, passed away on February 5, 2016. She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Emmitt C. Barrow of Longview, TX and her maternal grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Durward Gaw of Longview, TX. She is survived by her husband Tim, the love of her life; children Kim, Matt & Josh; parents David and Kathryn Barrow, and brother John Barrow of Plano, TX; sister Melanie and husband Brent Palmer and their children Austin and Bailey of Point Blank, TX.
Veronica had an inspiring and encouraging faith in God through whom she touched many people. She studied ballet for many years, and was an accomplished pianist and composer who graduated from Wheaton Conservatory of Music. She also published her book, “No More Fear”, which was her personal faith story of her cancer challenges, and her desire to encourage others in their faith. Recently, her cancer complications overpowered her body, but not her spirit, which is alive forever more. Her family is now blessed with thoughts of her singing, dancing and praising The Lord.
Visitation will be held Wednesday, February 10, 2016 from 4 to 6 PM at Sandberg Funeral Home, 2593 E. 7th Ave., North St. Paul, concluding with a brief prayer.
