Veronica was the loving daughter of the late Albert Polidoro and the late Veronica (Sanislo) Polidoro; she was also the loving sister of the late Madeline Polidoro and Annabelle Kaufmann.

Ronnie was born and raised in South Philadelphia where she later built a family and life with her beloved husband.

She was proud of the accomplishments and the life that she and John built together and would infamously say, “Not too bad for two kids who had nothing.” Being the epitome of beauty, style and poise, Ronnie always took pride in her sense of style. She loved shopping in Center City, Philadelphia especially with her daughters and granddaughters. She was an avid reader, enjoyed the arts, and classic films. She was no stranger to the theater as she frequented shows in New York and Philadelphia. She was always looking for another opportunity to see Jersey Boys on Broadway.
