Obituary for Veronica M. Cinco
Veronica Mary Cinco died March 26, 2015 at Careage of Whidbey at the age of 92. She was born September 18, 1922 in Auburn, Massachusetts. Veronica was raised in Worcester and then moved on to Brooklyn, New York, where she met a young sailor and her future husband, Raymond A Cinco. Ray and Veronica were married in 1941.
As a Navy family they were sent to Panama City, Panama and London, England and, in 1975, the Cinco family arrived in Oak Harbor to be with their grandchildren. This was perhaps, the most joy filled time of their lives.
In 1976, Veronica began working for the Commissary at NAS Whidbey, assisting shoppers with their groceries. During her 38 years working as a bagger, she became affectionately known as “Gramma”. Following the death of her husband in 1986, she lived independently, surrounded by her many friends who became her Oak Harbor family.
Veronica loved bingo, knitting afghans for her grandchildren, helping others in need, and walking around town for hours when she was not working. She was known as a strong, independent, caring, hardworking, occasionally stubborn, loyal and most importantly, a devout Catholic. She retired from the Commissary in 2014 at the age of 92.
Mrs. Cinco is survived by her son Raymond (Del) of Lennox, South Dakota and daughter Veronica LaGala (Jack) of Springhill, Florida, seven grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. She was preceded in death by her husband Raymond A. Cinco, her parents and four siblings.
Visitation for Veronica will be held at St Augustine Catholic Church beginning at 6:00 pm on Sunday, April 5. Visitation will be followed by a Vigil Service, Rosary and Time of Sharing from 7-8 pm. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Monday, April 6 at 10:00 am at the church with Rev. Paul Pluth, J.C.L. officiating. A reception will follow at Wallin Funeral Home. Rite of Committal will be held on Tuesday, April 7 at 10:00 am at Maple Leaf Cemetery with Rev. Jerry Kienzle officiating.
Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home. To share memories or leave condolences, visit Veronica’s Book of Memories page on the funeral home website at www.wallinfuneralhome.com.
