Dunn, Viona C., “Vi”, “Nonie”
(Nee Rome) Born to Eternal Life on April 16, 2016 at the age of 96. Preceded in death by her loving husband of 61 years, Paul. Dearest Mom of Dorine (Michael) Nemoir, Dennis, the late Daniel, Patricia (Paul) Lightbody, the late MaryAnn (Dennis) Labinski, and the late Pauline.
Fond Nonie to: Grandchildren--Brian (Heather), Jill (Erik), Kevin (Heather), Angie (Kemp), Ryan (Natalie), Eric (Julie), John (Jenny), Christopher, Maggie, Derek, Dean; and Great Grandchildren--Sophia, Gus, Lexie, Josie, Luke, George, Max, Eli, Henry, Rose, Harmony, Noah, Owen and Evan.

Last surviving daughter of Austrian-born parents, Joseph and Johanna Rome. Siblings Edgar (Mildred) Rome, Dorothy (Harold) Schultz and Lenore (James) Clow. The Romes were founding members of Mother of Good Counsel Parish as well as charter members of the Basilica at Holy Hill.
Besides being a devoted wife and Mother, an avid baker, and a tailgating Packer fan, Viona was a dedicated choir member. Her voice, along with Paul’s graced choirs at St. Catherine’s Milwaukee, Our Lady of Fatima Shrine, Milwaukee Catholic Chorus and Irishfest Peace and Justice Choir.
Hers was a life shared with a warm smile for everyone, especially children. There were never any strangers in Mom’s life--just friends she had yet to meet.

Look down upon us, Nonie, and rest in peace. You are loved and missed.
