Veronica Elizabeth (Decker) Baumunk
Obituary
Veronica Elizabeth Baumunk went to God peacefully on September 27, 2022 in hospice care. Wanting to live to be 100, she was 99 last month and so began her 100th year.
Veronica was born to Fred and Mary Decker on August 15, 1923 in Alhambra, California, the second oldest of six children.
Veronica and her husband Newel moved to Sonoma County in 1960 and raised their five children here.
Before upcycling was even popular, Veronica could take a broken down piece of furniture, and refinish it into an antique treasure. Known as Vickie around the county, her booth at flea markets was always flooded with customers.
Veronica was preceded in death by her parents, all her siblings and her ex-husband Newel. She is survived by her daughter Dianne Baumunk, son Bob (Patty), son Dave (Karen), daughter Pat Barry (Randy), and son Ken (Alice) as well as many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Rev. Sean Rogers will preside at a graveside service at 1 pm Friday, Oct 7th at Oak Mound Cemetery in Healdsburg. In lieu of flowers, stop at a garage sale and buy something to upcycle. Veronica will be smiling at you.
