Veronica is described as adoring dogs, often fostering and rescuing them from Golden Retriever Rescue of Atlanta.
The Dublin woman is missed by her husband Kevin of almost 30 years, her daughter Lacey, siblings Larry and Brenda as well as her nephews, nieces, cousins and aunts.
Tributes continue to pour in for the mum, with mourners saying they are “heartbroken” for her husband and daughter.
"She was the total package of everything a person strives to be,” one said.

"She was a true blue beautiful person and the sudden Loss is surely unbearable for you all,” another said.

One said: "My heart goes out to all the Millers and all the Butlers and anyone who was blessed to know Veronica.”
"Her hug was continuous and that big smile was so warm, so warm it has stayed in my memory,” another wrote.
