Veronica E. Rubio, a beloved wife, mother, and educator, passed away after a lifetime filled with love and dedication. She was married to her cherished husband for 63 years, sharing a bond that was both unwavering and filled with joy. For 40 years, Veronica taught in the Laredo Independent School District (LISD), leaving an indelible mark on the lives of her students and colleagues.
