Violet Sliech Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Nov. 5 to Nov. 6, 2022.
Violet Sliech 1936 - 2022 Agawam The family of Violet Sliech sadly announces her peaceful passing on November 2, 2022 surrounded by the love and comfort of her beloved family. Born in West Springfield on December 15, 1936 to the late John and Helen Sypek she was raised and educated there graduating from West Springfield High School class of 1954. Violet wed the love of her life Steven Sliech in 1958 and they began their life together settling in Agawam and welcoming their family. Violet took immense pride in creating a loving environment for her children always striving to make each day the best it could be. Violet's warm and comforting nature was well suited to her position as a bus monitor and she truly looked forward to each ride. In her leisure Violet loved camping in Clinton CT with her family as well as traveling. She was no stranger to a good game of pitch and participated in a league. She loved poker too. Her most treasured memories were those made spending time with her family. As her family grew she was excited to welcome her grandchildren and was elated when her great grandson Elijah arrived and he was her pride and joy. She loved her family deeply and being surrounded by them made her world complete. Surviving Violet is her devoted daughter Kathleen Weller and her husband Donald of Agawam. She will be greatly missed by her cherished grandchildren Scott and wife Caitlin, Stephanie and partner Carlos, Nicholas and wife Heather, Justin, Timothy and great grandsons Elijah and Julian and great-granddaughter Lily and daughters-in-law Mary Sliech and Dorothy Sliech. She also leaves her loving sister Phyllis Rys and her partner David of West Springfield as well as extended family and countless friends. Sadly she was predeceased by her beloved husband Steven, her sons Gary Sliech and Thomas Sliech, her siblings Stanley and Irene and her companion Ed Borgatti with whom she had a special bond. Calling hours for Violet will be held on Wednesday November 9, 2022 from 11 A.M. -1 P.M. at the Agawam Funeral Home 184 Main Street in Agawam. Her service will begin at 1 P.M. followed by burial at 2 P.M. at the Massachusetts Veterans Memorial Cemetery. Remembrances in Violet's name may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

I was truly saddened to hear of Vi's passing. I grew up in Feeding Hills and left in 1965 to enlist in the Army. Whenever I was home on leave or later for visits I would drive up to Feeding Hills Cir. to say Hi to her when she was doing crossing guard duty.

I remember when Stevie started dating Vie and called him a traitor as West side was Agawam High school's football rival. I remember spending many afternoons at the West Side Fish and Game Club with Vie and the Sleigh family. I also volunteered and work with the Sliech family at the Feeding Hils Polish Club Where Steve Senior put on Clambakes in the back pavilion. I bartended back there and work with Vie cleaning up after them.

I have nothing but happy reflections of my times with the entire Sleich family Especially Billy because Helen and my mother shared a room at Mercy hospital when they delivered us. I remember when Tommy was born and just a little tike running around the fish and game club. Although my condolences are late as I live in Monterey, California and just heard of Vie's passing they are heartfelt and have brought back many happy memories.

God Bless you Kathy, and the family

It is with great sadness that I send this message of condolence. Viola played such an important part of our lives for many, many years. Through her, we became part of her extended family and enjoyed every minute of it. I thank God that we have so many great memories, our years in Clinton with Viola playing cards, bingo, our wedding, and parties will make us smile for years to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all....love you.....Sandi and Dave
