Violet Ezell Drake

Beth, Tim and girls,
So sorry to hear of your loss, know that you are in our thoughts.
-Rick, Emily, Xander and Sawyer Arnold

I remember the good times we had watching Vi playing the organ while John, my brother Sam and I sang in the choir.

My other brothers Ed and Norman and my Dad, Paul Sippel also enjoyed the music.

In addition, my brothers Sam, Ed, and I went to Fairfield High enjoying singing Hodge's musical masterpieces directed by Mr. Thoms and Mr. Pryor. It was much later that I discovered Vi and John and can see what wonderful parents they were supporting their talented musical...

Your beloved Mother was the face of Christ to so many. I remember fondly when my own Dad passed away. Who came and sang at Dad's funeral? John & Vi!! I loved your parents very much and will miss them sorely.

David, My thoughts are with you during this sorrowful time. I offer my prayers for you and your family. Karen Bolte

Karen, Hodge, David, Steve & Beth Ann, sorry to hear of Vi's passing. She was a special woman & remember her fondly from days of St. Clair & when our families were related. She will not be forgotten. Prayers for all of you to get through this trying time.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was a wonderful individual and I know you will miss her so much. She was an inspiration to so many. With love

I am so sorry for the loss of Violet. She was a wonderful inspiration as I grew to adulthood at Immanuel.
We are blessed knowing that we will see all of our loved ones on that glorious day
