She was born on March 24, 1958, in Borger to Sherman and Ada Ruth Fleming. She was a 1976 graduate of Borger High School.

She married Mark Sherrod on March 22, 1980, and together they raised three childern: two daughters. Darcee and Keelie: and a son, Caeleb

She was a devoted, compassionate and loving mother, and considered this the primary and most important role of her life. Her love for serving others, however, later led her to pursue a degree in nursing from Amarillo College, and she was employed by Texas Tech Center for Family Medicine.

The other great joys of Veneica's life included laughing with family and friends, playing with her grandsons and going to Chicago concerts.
