Veronica Rose Koenigs, the daughter of Ernest and Clara (Thome) Adams, was born on July 11, 1942 in Stacyville, Iowa. She received her education in Stacyville, graduating from Stacyville High School in 1960. Veronica then attended college in the Twin Cities for a short time before working as a secretary for an attorney.
Veronica was united in marriage to Kenneth “Kenny” Koenigs on June 8, 1968 at Visitation Catholic Church in Stacyville. This union was blessed with four sons: Brian, Craig, Kevin and Scott. They lived in Minnesota Lake, Minnesota for a few years where Kenny and Veronica owned and operated an upholstery business. They moved to Stacyville in 1974 and onto their family farm in 1976.
Veronica worked at Louise’s Lounge, Gerk’s Café, the Stacyville Bowling Alley and the Stacyville Motor-Mart throughout her working career. She was a wonderful cook (both at home and work), bartender, waitress and clerk who had a great rapport with all of her customers. Her big heart was always fullest when she could babysit her grandchildren or just spend time with her family.
Veronica was a member of Visitation Catholic Church and Foresters Club. She enjoyed traveling (especially to Branson), going to the casino and again, babysitting her grandchildren. She never really got mad (at least at her grandchildren) and always had a smile on her face.
Living family members include her three sons: Brian of Stacyville, Craig of Riceville and Scott of St. Ansgar; 13 grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews; along with other family members and many friends.
Veronica was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Kenny; son, Kevin; and five siblings: Eugene Adams, Walt Adams, Theresa Mauer, Louise Walk and Ted Adams.
