Vi and I were friends since we were 5 years old and while distance and time separated us, we were always able to pick up where we left off. She was a vibrant, interesting woman and always a good friend. May God comfort George, Butchie and her loving descendants.

Breaks my heart to hear of her passing. Many fond memories of Vi and her family over the years. Beautiful woman inside and out blessed with a beautiful life! Just a few of my fondest memories were the many summer picnics at her Ruffsdale home, playing with Marg and Chris, Billy and Jimmy. Bailing hay, hanging out in the barn, chasing cows and fourth of July Fireworks in the field in the back of the truck. She was genuinely kind woman who left a positive imprint on my life and so many others....

It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of Violet Croushore, a truly kind and remarkable soul. Violet had a warmth and light about her that left an impression on everyone she met. Her kindness, strength, and love will never be forgotten. Please keep Croushore and their family in your thoughts during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Violet. You will be deeply missed.
