Violet Shaw Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by White Funeral Home & Crematory - Cassville on Dec. 26, 2025.
Violet Prudie Simkins Youngblood Shaw lovingly known as "Mutt", from Eagle Rock, MO passed away at the age of 93 on December 25, 2025, surrounded by her family. She was born on March 4, 1932, to Everett and Louvene Williams Simkins, who owned a tomato factory in Lampe, Missouri. She retired from Harris Casino in North Kansas City. She spent her retirement years enjoying family get-togethers and peaceful days on and around Table Rock Lake.

Mutt is survived by her children: Bobby Youngblood, Ronnie Youngblood, Pam Youngblood Stiles, and Randal Youngblood. She was blessed with 11 grandchildren, as well as many great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents and all ten of her siblings.

Mutt was passionate about music, played multiple instruments, wrote songs, and performed at venues such as Berryville square in Arkansas. She left a lasting impression on many individuals and will be remembered by all who had the opportunity to get to know her.

In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to Eagle Rock Golden Mano Fire Protection District and entrusted to White Funeral Home and Crematory.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Arrangements are under the direction of White Funeral Home and Crematory.
