Violet Chapin Obituary
Oshkosh - Violet E. Chapin age 89, of Oshkosh went home to her precious Lord and Savior on Saturday, October 17, 2020 at Lakepoint Villa Assisted Living. She was born in Bear Creek, WI to the late Julius and Gertrude (Bremer) Christensen. Violet married James Chapin on November 12, 1949 and their marriage was blessed with 10 children.
Violet worked at Small World Child Care for a time. However, her most natural and beloved role was that of wife, mother, and grandmother. Nothing gave her more joy than spending time with family. She especially loved kids and was so excited to become a great-great, grandmother. She loved to study her bible and was a prayer warrior. God knows she would have to be with 10 kids! To know Violet was to love her. She was deeply loved and will be sorely missed.
Violet is survived by her eight children: Jack (Marion), Danny (Beth), Valerie (John) Kent, Larry (Karen), Randy (Bonnie), Darrell (Mary), Ricky (Malissa), Marylyn Ochowicz; 24 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; one great-great grandson; siblings: Fern Christensen, Floyd Christensen, and Rose Stockinger. She was preceded in death by her husband, James Chapin; sons; Leroy and Garland Chapin and six siblings.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 24, 2020 at Community Church, 2351 Ryf Road with Dave Chapin officiating. Visitation will be at the church on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. until time of service.
Special thanks to Dr. Morales, AseraCare Hospice, especially Tammy, and Lakepoint Staff for their excellent care and genuine love.

I am so sorry for your loss. Violet was a beautiful person inside and out. She will be sorely missed. She had a beautiful smile and a sparkle in her eyes every time I saw her. Her words were always kind and encouraging. My last visit with her was wonderful. I had lunch with Violet and Marylyn at the restaurant at Evergreen. She insisted on treating us and we also had dessert. Rest in peace sweet lady.

Violet always had a smile to share. Remembering a visit she made to see her "little brother" and sister-in-law in Florida and what a joy she was to be around. Violet was one great lady. Loved the Lord and had much gratitude for being blessed with husband, family and friends. Very glad I got to meet and spend time with her.
