Veronica Guy

It is with deepest sadness that we announce the death of Veronica Guy, a nurse at University Hospital of North Midlands, from Covid-19.

Tracy Bullock, Chief Executive at UHNM said: “Veronica, known as Ronnie, had worked in the Renal Unit at County Hospital, Stafford for more than 20 years and will be sadly missed.

“Our deepest sympathies are with her family at this very sad time and we thank them for her many years of service.”

Ronnie died at Royal Stoke on 4 September 2021.

Today Sister Sally Davies said Ronnie would be remembered for her sense of fun and vibrant personality. She said: “Ronnie was very vivacious and always up for a laugh. She loved to dance with her husband Colin and their friends and we all had some brilliant times together.

“She was an advocate for her patients, having had a renal transplant herself and was able to share her lived experience with our patients. She had worked in Stafford for more than 26 years as a healthcare assistant first before training to be a nurse and was incredibly well known and extremely loved by her colleagues at County Hospital. We will miss her greatly.”

Mother of two, Ronnie leaves her husband Colin, two sons, Lee and Craig and three grandchildren and was devoted to her family.
