She was a 1980 graduate of Cooley High School in Detroit, Michigan. She soon attended Detroit Business Institute (DDI), where she graduated with her business degree. She confessed her love for Christ at an early age at Temple of Faith Baptist Church while in Detroit. After graduating she soon moved to Monticello, where she became a faithful member of New Relationship Christian Center and served as a choir member and treasurer.
Veronica wore many hats but the one that stuck for twenty-nine plus years was her daycare, Mine, Yours, and Ours. Teaching, guiding, supporting, and loving on not only the children but the family as well.
As she lived in Monticello, she has joined many organizations focused on making a difference in her community. One of her longest standing clubs was the Effie E. Brooks Civic Club. She joined this civic club in 1994. In 1989 Veronica Tucker and Robert Tucker joined in Matrimony. Their love story began where they never gave up on each other's love.
She leaves to cherish her memory, four sons, Antjuan Tucker, Robert Tucker, Jr. (Dominique), Darrnell Powell, and Shijuan Tucker; one daughter, Sasha Tucker; four brothers, Curtis Lamar Cavaness, Christopher Cavaness, and Carlos Twine; two sisters, Yolanda Cavaness and Rhonda Bennett (Elgin); stepmother, Terri Cavaness; five aunts, Dorothy Dozier, Adell Thompson, Ira B Watkins, Hallie Valentine (Al), and Herdicine Meadows; two uncles, Lee Collier (Diane) and Dwight Cavaness (Alma); thirty-two nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews; as well as a host of other relatives and friends.

Seffner, FL Wednesday, July 9, 2025 Much Condolences to Ronnie aka Veronica Tucker family. I've been knowing Ronnie most of my life. Her daycare Mine, Yours, and Ours provided excellent day care services that I relied upon years ago that would never be forgotten. Though time passed and we didn't talk as much as we did years ago, I will never forget the advice and kindness she always shown to me. I hope her kindness, and love continue to resonates in the hearts of all her family and friends. Sasha, Sijuan, and Antijuan your mother touched many hearts; please find comfort knowing this.God bless,
Latrina Ollison-Coasey and family
