Sr. Veronica Kuehn, SSND
Less than a month after celebrating her 75th Jubilee, our beloved Sister Veronica (M. Florina) Kuehn, 96, death on a few occasions but always seemed to rally. Often wondering why others could go to heaven and she could not, she finally realized her longed-for desire.
The funeral Mass for Sister Veronica, with Father Peter Nosbush as presider, will be on Wednesday, July 6, at 10:30 a.m., in Good Counsel Chapel, followed by burial in our death by her parents, P. Paul and Theresa (Schwengle) Kuehn, eight brothers, John, Otto, Sylvester, Paul, Ralph, Raymond, Nicholas and James, and six sisters, Florence Kauth, Marie Wesolek, Rosalia Harmer (Sister Veronica's twin), Alice Bebeau, Frances Thompson and Agnes Ahner.
Sister Veronica and her twin Rosalia, the sixth and seventh children in the family, were born into the Kuehn family. Veronica greatly appreciated being a member of a large family and considered it a special blessing.
Veronica recalled the importance of the family's Catholic faith: “I remember during the holy season of Lent how my mother would get the entire family together in her bedroom at night and we would recite the rosary together. This seemed to be a daily practice during Lent and also when my mother was sick in bed. We would all kneel around the bedside and say a rosary for her recovery. . . . In the sitting room on the table my mother used to keep a pile of Catholic magazines. In reading these magazines we got a very slight idea of Convent life. How we admired sisters and spoke of them with almost the same reverence and awe as we did of God.” Veronica and her siblings attended a one-room district school, but a friend attended SS. Peter & Paul School in Loretto. Veronica wrote, “I recall that she always said she wanted to be a sister when she got older. When she said this to me, I never once thought of this happening to me. . . . Today she is died, Sister Veronica became suddenly alert and said very clearly, “All for the greater honor and glory of God!” She used the “Suscipe” prayer (Accept me, Lord) often to express her desire to be with God. May she now be enjoying the fullness of life with the God who has called her home at last.
