Veronica Antoinette Sterr (nee Frigo), 82, was called to her heavenly home on Tuesday, December 11, 2012.
She was born on December 22, 1929, in Pound, the daughter of the late Louis and Guistina Frigo and spent her childhood life helping in the Frigo Cheese Company in Lena.
In 1962, she was united in marriage to Gerald Sterr and Lomira became her home until Gerald’s death in 1997. From there she lived in Fond du Lac while spending her winters in Florida.
Veronica was a dynamic and dedicated woman with her family, career and religious beliefs. She graduated from St. Mary Springs High School, attended nursing school at St. Agnes and then graduated with a degree from Marquette University. Her first job was as the Washington County Nurse in the late 1950’s.
After spending years working as a registered nurse in the nursing field, she became an instructor at Moraine Park Technical College. Veronica was an early believer in the benefits of holistic health and used her knowledge to share with others as the President of the Natural Food Association of Wisconsin.
Besides her career achievements, she enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, golfing, gardening and being a volunteer in her community and church.
Those Veronica leaves behind to cherish her memory include two children, Gregory (Lorna) Sterr of West Bend and Stephanie (Scott) Skorik of Cedarburg; five grandchildren, Jessica (Jason) Gassner of Brownsville, Christina Sterr of California, Taylor, Zach and Hailey Skorik of Cedarburg; two great-grandchildren, Tenley and Trista Gassner of Brownsville; two brothers, Joseph (Irene) Frigo and James Frigo; three sisters, Sr. Luigi Frigo, Sr. Marianna Frigo and Cecilia (Tom) Fay, other relatives and friends.
