Obituary For Veronica Therese Cuthill

On Thursday, February 6, 2025, Veronica Cuthill, 55, passed away at the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital, after a brief but intense battle with cancer.

Veronica was born on September 5, 1969, in Grimby, England to proud parents, Josie and Ed Cuthill. In 1974, the family moved to Canada, where they finally settled in Rainbow Lake, AB. There, she graduated from high school, moved to Edmonton, AB, where she attended NAIT and eventually settled in Grande Prairie, AB. Veronica worked for years at the Travelodge and Stonebridge hotels, as well as The Licence Centre. She made a diverse bunch of friends at these jobs and loved each one of them.

The brightest light in Veronica’s life was her daughter, Carmen. With patience and perseverance, she and Brian coaxed Carmen from a shy and timid girl, to an outgoing young lady who created a life in Japan.

Veronica was a strong independent person, who had a love for travel, ComiCons, Doctor Who, and Harry Potter. She also enjoyed playing with her great nieces and nephews, murder mystery shows, and the theatre.

Veronica was predeceased by her grandparents Sarah and Joseph Anderson, and John and Ellen Cuthill; as well as nephews Joseph and Dyllon.

Veronica leaves behind her loving partner, Brian; daughter Carmen (Sam); parents Ed and Josie; sisters Rose (Richard) and Pat; nephews Ryan (Kristal) and Jayden; nieces Kim (Brett), Semantha (Eric), Lizzie (Adrian); and a great many other nieces and nephews. Our pain is a small price to pay for her peace.

At her request, there will be no funeral, however, a celebration of Veronica’s life will be held mid-summer.

Donations may be made in Veronica’s honour to your local animal rescue or the Canadian Cancer Society.

Veronica was one of my classmates in the NAIT photography technology program back 1989-1991... all of us in our graduating class were very close to each other. Together we spent those 2 years living, probably the best, 2 years of our lives learning the craft we loved together. Veronica was always very quiet, but loved in our class.... I remember fondly one of our classmates nicknaming her "sweet pea"; how she always struggled moving photo gear from one studio to another because of her meek size (she was the smallest in our class)... and all the triumphs and happiness when her work was displayed as one of the top 3 when our photo assignments were evaluated... I also remembered her when another student from another program (don't know the guy) came up to her, flowers in hand, gave it to her and asked her out... and she was floored and taken aback... and then politely declined (she was kinda shy at the time in first year). Such was the lady she is... quiet, and quietly friendly! And then I remembered her dressed so proudly in her graduation gown when she accepted her diploma... she can't wipe that silly grin off her face!!! One of the last fond moments together was with myself , Veronica, and Blake Martin when we all went out for supper together... where we reminisced and shared our life stories together... I will and always miss Veronica. To Veronica: Rest easy and take lots of awesome photos wherever your journeys take you... Steve Mah

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Veronica at the Trumpeter. She was one of the best people I've ever known. Life happened, jobs changed and I moved out of Grande Prairie. The things I remember most about Veronica was her subtle sense of humor, her laughter, shopping at Sears, Carmen and Cassandra hanging out, talking on the phone for hours. The world is a little darker with Veronica passing. My sincerest condolences to Mr and Mrs Cuthill, Brian, Carmen, Rose, Pat and all your family. Fly high with the angels beautiful Lady!
