A great woman that will surely will be missed. Her kindness, her class, her love for her family and the people she cared for. She never spoke an opinion, unless she was asked. Violet took more college classes than a PHD in her quest for knowledge without ever receiving a degree. She always did the right thing, either for others or for herself. I once asked her, Why I never heard a raised voice in raising her family. She replied, "I believe that if family members, would treat each other with the same respect, as they would their next door neighbors, then I did the best I could." May you Rest in Peace till we all are together again."

Violet was a kind and friendly woman. She had a big heart and a wonderful laugh. She was a pleasure to be around. And, an excellent cook!
