Veronica Vara-Briones Obituary

Veronica Vara-Briones LUBBOCK-Family and friends will gather to celebrate the life of Veronica Vara-Briones, 42, of Lubbock with rosary services at 6:30 p.m. today at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers. Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 24, 2013, at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church. Our beloved Veronica went to be with the Lord on Monday, Jan. 20, 2014, after a 12-year battle with PPH which she fought courageously. She was born on March 14, 1971, to Rudy and Josie Vara in Lubbock. She attended Lubbock High School and Mr. Tom's Beauty School. She worked for Mr. Tom's and Master Cuts. On July 24, 2006, Veronica married her high school sweetheart, Jimmy Briones, in Lubbock. Veronica was a very strong person, a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and a devoted Catholic. She was preceded in death by her father, Rudy Vara; a son, Randy Briones; a daughter, Brianna Lynn Briones; a brother, Vincent Vara; and a puppy, Javier. Survivors include her husband, Jimmy; her mother, Josie Vara of Lubbock; a son, Justin (Tina Gonzales) of Lubbock; a daughter, Ariel Lynn Briones of Lubbock; two grandchildren, Cory and Kali Vara of Lubbock; two sisters, Paulette Morin (Ricky) of Austin, and Andrea Ramirez (Reynaldo) of Lubbock; a brother, Rudy Vara (Marisa Gomez) of Lubbock; and her beloved puppy, Tootsie. Pallbearers will be Rudy Lopez, Reynaldo Ramirez, Juan Toby Baca, Robert Lee Bustillos, Mark Stewart, and Manuel Gonzalez. Memorials are suggested to the PPH Association or the American Heart Association. To send your condolences and view tribute, visit www.memorialdesigners.net.
