Veronica A. (Fee) Whittle, 94, of Stratford Arms, Riverside, formerly of Belton Circle, Barrington, died peacefully on September 7, 2025.
Born in North Adams, MA to John Fee and Elizabeth Brackley Fee, Ronnie lived a life marked by quiet strength, sharp intellect, and deep devotion to her family. She moved to her supportive community of Stratford Arms after living in Barrington for 49 years, where she built lasting friendships. She was lucky to have several of those friends as neighbors at Stratford Arms as well.
She worked for the State of RI in the Department of Labor and Training for more than 23 years, working her way up from part-time interviewer to Assistant Director for Field Operations.
She was a past president of Hameho Garden Club, a member of the St. Luke’s, Barrington Bogies, and Executive Women’s golf leagues, and the Barrington Women’s Club. She played bridge for years with various groups, most enduringly at RI Country Club, where she enjoyed laughter, conversation, and camaraderie.
She is survived by her loving children, Terry A. Bond of Ft. Lauderdale, FL, J. Sheldon Whittle (Brenda) of Clermont, FL, Tracy W. Jones (Greg) of Newburyport, MA, Claudia B. Whittle with whom she lived in Riverside, and Leslie W. Goodwin (Jim) of Barrington. She leaves behind eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She was the beloved sister of the late Mary, Claire, June, and Catherine, and was predeceased by her son-in-law Roger Bond and former husband, Bernard Whittle.
