Veronica Ann May

Veronica A. May, (nee Milliron), age 72, of Tonawanda, passed away April 20, 2024, at Northgate Healthcare Facility following a long illness. 

Ms. May was born on April 6, 1952, in Punxsutawney, PA. Ms. May was proud to be a licensed practical nurse for over 40 years, beginning her career at DeGraff Memorial Hospital, and retiring from Niagara Lutheran Home and Rehabilitation Center. She thrived in her nursing career, as she was a natural nurturer, teacher, and advocate for others. 

Before she fell ill, Ms. May was an avid bingo player. She loved to travel and to cook. She was an animal lover. Her biggest joy came from spending time with her grandchildren and supporting them in their endeavors. She found comfort, later in life, by spending time with her families' foster dogs. 

Ms. May was predeceased by her parents, the late Leonard and Anna Milliron. She is survived by her loving daughter, Melissa (Lucas) Langworthy of Tonawanda; Her brothers, Leonard (Joanne) Milliron, and Terrance Milliron, both of North Tonawanda; Her grandchildren, Isabella and Peyton Langworthy. Also survived by cherished nieces and nephews, "bonus" children and grandchildren, former in-laws, and many friends.
