Nov 11, 1977---Feb 25, 2022

Veronica Marie Marrs, 44, of Overland Park, Kansas, died due to a severe and unexpected stroke Friday, February 25, 2022 shrouded in love by her family and friends.

Roni or Vern, as she was affectionately known, was adored for her generous heart, easy laugh, and fierce spirit. She soaked up life just as she soaked up the sun: always in style with a smile on her face, a pup in her lap, a mimosa in her hand, and loved ones by her side.

Veronica was born November 11, 1977, the eldest child of Dr. David and Karen Schmeidler of Arkansas City, KS. She was married to the love of her life, Dr. Tyson Marrs, on July 31, 1999, with whom she raised three doting sons: Jackson, Payton, and Eddie. They made their home in Overland Park, KS. She was preceded in death by: her grandparents James “Smiley” and Joan Schmeidler, and their son James; Clifford Waggoner and his son Eugene; and her cousin Tawnya Schmeidler-Kearns. She is survived by her husband, Ty, and their sons Jackson, Payton, and Eddie; her parents Dave and Karen Schmeidler; Ty’s parents Phil and Cathy Marrs; siblings and their spouses: Jon and Laura Schmeidler, Henry and Sarah Schmeidler, and Emily and Lenny Tocco; in-laws Dr. Chad and Ferrell Marrs, and Cole Marrs; and her many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

A Rosary will be prayed at 4:00 PM Thursday, March 3, 2022 at Church of the Ascension, 9510 W. 127th St., Overland Park, KS 66213 with visitation to follow until 7:00 PM. The Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10:00 AM Friday, March 4, 2022 at Church of the Ascension. A private family burial will take place in Pleasant Valley Cemetery, Overland Park, KS. In lieu of flowers/plants, please consider a memorial contribution to https://www.goredforwomen.org and/ or https://1tribefoundation.org.

We are eternally grateful for the love Veronica shared, and her family would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for all the comforting words, prayers, and expressions of sympathy that will be remembered forever.

Veronica is going to missed by so so many people. I can’t believe how many friends I have heard from that I didn’t even know that they were friends with her too. (Outside the tennis world) Every time I saw her she had a smile on her face. She was always so easy to talk to. She definitely stepped up my wardrobe. I had never heard of Cabi before her. She was very talented and such a beautiful person. I’m so sorry.

We remember being so happy to reconnect when you moved to KC and getting to create fun memories when the kids were all young. And seeing you all recently at tennis events and wine tastings. Veronica is a special person who was able to always leave a positive impact on everyone she encountered. She was a fierce and proud Mom and we are devastated for you. We are holding you all close in our hearts.

Ty, Jackson, Payton, and Eddie, it's impossible to know the personal pain through which you are experiencing. You were so lucky to have her in your lives as long as you did, but sorely missed as you boys are headed into your adult lives and Ty, having everything set for you and Veronica to enjoy your lives as parents and grandparents. You are lucky to have such a close family as support, and you are all in the thoughts and prayers in our household and Brett and Collin's families.
