Veronica Walsh Obituary

Veronica Mennella Walsh MT. PLEASANT - Veronica Mennella Walsh, 46, devoted mother, wife, and friend, released her spirit to her heavenly home January 6, 2011, around 3:30 am surrounded by her loving family. Veronica was born on May 8, 1964, in Nurnberg, Germany. She emulated the love of Christ through every aspect of her life. She volunteered her time with East Cooper Community Outreach and Low Country Women with Wings. She had also worked as a Mary Kay Consultant and a Cookie Lee Jewelry Representative. One of her greatest accomplishments was her success as an entrepreneur of Planning the Globe, an award winning meeting planning and special events company. Through her success there she received an award for one of the "Top 40 under 40" for prominent women in business. She was raised in Kew Gardens, NY, but has lived in Massapequa, Hartsdale, and Armonk, NY, as well. She and her family lived in Mount Pleasant, SC from 1992 until 1995 and returned in 1998 where she spent her final days. Veronica was a world traveler, but had the most joy when spending time with family, watching her children play hockey and swim. She offered her time with the homeschooling community and local Catholic Church, always thinking of others offering them compassion through service. Veronica's joy for life was infectious to all she came into contact with, whether a casual acquaintance or a lifelong friend. Her beautiful life is her legacy to her family and friends. With great adoration we remember her sweet smile, her loving touch, and her graceful strength. We will carry her zeal for living in our memories and share her spirit with others as we continue to remember her here and rejoice to reunite with her in the future. Heaven has multiplied its joy this day in receiving her. Thank you Veronica for being 'You' and allowing us the privilege of being a part of your life. You have blessed us beyond words. She is survived by her husband Larry Walsh; a daughter, Khailey Walsh; a son Thomas Walsh; her mother Diane Spivak and her husband Richard; her father, Ken Mennella and his wife Nicolina; two sisters Lisa Gioia and Constance Mennella; a brother Kenny Mennella; her in laws, Larry Walsh and his wife Ginger and Josephine Hetherington; many nieces, nephews and cousins. The family will receive friends from 2:30 PM until 4:30 PM on Monday, January 17, 2011, at The Citadel Beach House, 4700 Palm Boulevard, Isle of Palms, SC. where a Celebration of Veronica's life will be held at 4:30 PM. A foundation is being established to honor Veronica.

I am a childhood friend of Ronnie and was so sad to hear of her passing. Her family lived across the street from me on First Avenue during our grammar school and JR HS years. I always remembered her as a beautiful, funny, vibrant girl who was always so outgoing and full of life and I was without a doubt one of many boys on that block who had a crush on her. I lost touch with her and hadn't seen her for many many years and reading her obituary and all of the other comments of people who knew her later in her life, its obvious that she grew up to be an amazingly successful women on so many levels and loved by all who knew her. My thoughts and prayers go out to her and her loving family. Rest in Peace Ronnie.

I am so saddened by the passing of my childhood friend Ronnie. Thinking of Ronnie...thinking back to childhood days on First Avenue. Ronnie was always the prettiest girl on the block who always had a big smile! I recall such fun summers in Phoenicia learning all about tubing in the creeks(Ronnie usually orchestrated these events!) and putting pennies on the train tracks. Summer nights watching Nadia score perfect 10's in the Olympics. Then heading to SUNY Plattsburgh for college and the surprising comfort of finding Ronnie again, a piece of home. I feel blessed to have such wonderful childhood memories of Ronnie. I pray for all of her family !

Veronica was such a special and unique woman. A jewel and one of life's greatest treasures. She was so full of life and with a contagious smile.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Unlike everyone else, I am a person from Roni's past...She was my very best friend, confidant and maid of honor at my wedding. We lost touch many years ago. I thought of her so often and always wanted to pick up the phone, but life gets in the way, and words can not express how much I regret that. I will always regret not knowing the woman she became and will always be sorry I was not there for her when she was ill. I wish I got to know her children and was part of her life. I will always have the pictures and memories from our past. I am a better friend today from knowing her all those years. My condolences to her entire family and am so blessed she was in my life.

I met Veronica at the Mary Kay seminar many years ago. She was such a fun and loving person. I wish we hadn't lost touch. What a joy she was. Your family will be in my prayers.

I met Veronica just one time at a Cookie Lee event. She was such an inspirational speaker, passionate and full of energy. She spoke of her battle with cancer and encouraged women to be diligent with their health. Even in this brief knowledge of her, I could tell she was special and she inpsired me beyond words.

My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

Veronica meant so much to everyone who knew her. She will always be a light in my heart that cannot be extinquished. Our world(s) will not be the same without Veronica in it; she made such an impact everywhere she went. The love she had for her family surely will transcend from heaven- her love and compassion have left her mark on each of us. Our prayers are with each of you.
with much love,

Ms. V. was like a second mother to my brother, Andy, and I. She will always remember her and her positive outlook on life. Even when she was very sick she didn't let it show that she was in pain. She was a brave, loving woman and even though we have lost her, heaven has gained an angel. Out condolences to Mr. Larry, Khailey, and Thomas.

I am good friends with Mrs. Walsh's daughter, Khailey, and though I only met her a few times, I will always remember the love she had for her family! At Khailey's graduation party, she put together this beautiful speech and danced with Khailey to a touching Rascal Flatts song ... that image of them will be in my heart forever! I love you Khailey, and will be praying for you and your family! Rest in peace, Mrs. Walsh, you will be forever loved! :)

A braver woman I have never met. My heart goes out to the Walsh family. V showed the true definition of Grace. Her legacy will share that with the world.

I am thankful to be one of the lucky ones who received the blessing of knowing V. She embraced me and my family from the moment I met her and made me and my family part of her family. She shared her friendship with me, she hired my children to babysit her children and when my daughter was old enough she gave her a job and an opportunity at Planning the Globe. True friendship never dies. Until we meet again you will always be in my heart.
