Veronica Soro, affectionately known as “Vera,” was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She left this world unexpectedly on September 5 at the age of 88.
Born in Dumbarton, Scotland, on January 16, 1937, Veronica was the daughter of Charles and Margaret McGinlay. She graduated from the convent school of Notre Dame before immigrating to the United States. Veronica worked for 20 years at Greenwich Ophthalmology. A devout woman of faith, she was an active parishioner at St. Mary’s Church in Greenwich. Veronica is fondly remembered for her homemade Scottish shortbread and jam. She played the piano and loved music.
Veronica is now reunited in Heaven with her beloved husband, Quirico “Rico,” Soro, who predeceased her. She is survived by her cherished sons, Rico Soro, Giovanni Soro (Tammy), and Raffaele Soro (Anna), as well as her loving grandchildren: Lucian, Brianna, Alexandra, and Isabella. She is also remembered as the dear sister of Bernadette McGinlay.
A Mass of Christian Burial for Veronica will be celebrated on Friday at 10 a.m. at St. Mary’s Church, followed by interment at St. Mary’s Cemetery. Arrangements are entrusted to the Fred D. Knapp Funeral Home.
