Veronica Loretta Stoneman (May 5, 1938 – February 22, 2024) was an American bluegrass banjo player[1] and comedian widely known as a cast member on the country music show Hee Haw.

It wasn't until 1956 after a winning appearance on a quiz show that Pop resumed his music career, starting a family band with his wife Hattie and some of their children.

She eventually reached a much wider audience in the 1970s when she joined the cast of the country music show Hee Haw.

But while she occasionally picked banjo and sang on the show, it was her comedic talents that garnered more attention; her most prominent character was that of Ida Lee Nagger, which she initially performed in brief sketches with castmate Gordie Tapp as her husband LaVern.

Later in the series run, Ida Lee adopted a Sadie Hawkins-style persona of a homely spinster, particularly in Hee Haw's "Honky Tonk" sketch, during which she would be chasing numerous men around wielding a large butterfly net.
