It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Veronica Ann Arroyo, an amazing women with a huge heart and loving spirit.

Veronica was born on Jan. 28th, 1955, in Hanford, Ca., and lived primarily in Fresno, Ca., with a small stint in Marina, Ca. Her last placed if residence was in Fresno.

She is survived by her husband Joe Arroyo Jr.; her children, Richard Villagomez, Diana Villagomez, and Tim Villagomez and his spouse Saraha; her siblings, Ralph Sauceda, Steve Sauceda and his spouse Cindy, Sarah Sauceda, Patrick Sauceda and his spouse Monica, Danny Sauceda, and Jimmy Sauceda and his spouse Nancy; and her grandchildren Nadine and Leena.

Along with numerous other family and friends, Veronica shared a life with everyone she came and in contact with that was filled with love and joy.

It's not enough to say what she did in her life but how she went about living her life, that is what's most important to emphasize when describing her character and the effect she had on everyone around her.

Her wonderful smile, infectious laugh and genuine conversations will be missed the most. Spending time with her wasn't just a joy, it was a privilege and the pleasure was had by everyone that got to share that time with her.

As Veronica would say, hugs and toodles, to all!
